The Karl Miller Society is MSO’s Endowment Fund Donor Recognition Club. 

Karl Miller was the founding Music Director of the Manitowoc Symphony Orchestra, incorporated in 1951. In addition to his work with MSO, Mr. Miller taught in the Manitowoc Public School District, leading the orchestra program at Lincoln High School. He encouraged in his students and many others a life-long appreciation for music. He demonstrated the importance of hard work and perseverance, the necessity for teamwork and community, and the import of showing compassion for others. Karl Miller’s founding ideals are a continuing guide for the MSO.

Membership in KMS is recognized for all who contribute $1,000 or more annually to the MSO Endowment Fund—gifts are invested for our sustainability. Members receive invitations to private events throughout the year, as well as special premiums.

Please consider joining this club! Make a donation today and let us know of your interest in giving an annual gift.
