“All four of these board members are leaders in different areas of the Bozeman community. In addition to their individual talents they have a body of commitment to the symphony and the cultural community at large,” said Stephen Schachman, Board of Directors Chair. “The symphony considers itself fortunate to add their expertise and incredible commitment to the Board of Directors.”

The Bozeman Symphony embraces change as they welcome a more diverse Board of Directors with a total of 12 members. “The board has been making a conservative effort to be more involved with and more inclusive of the community that we serve and provide live symphonic music,” said Schachman.

Angella Ahn, Violinist, Professor - Juilliard-trained Angella Ahn has had an extensive career as a violinist, performing in every state in the U.S., in over 30 countries, and in venues as varied as the White House, Gewandhaus and Lincoln Center. She has played as both a solo artist and as a member of the Ahn Trio. In addition to live performances, Angella has an impressive discography with her trio, making nine enthusiastically received albums. Because of their eclectic interests and innovative exploration in music, the trio has generated wide-ranging collaborations with modern dance companies, film directors, rock bands, and composers. Recently, Angella has been featured in “Angella Ahn and Friends,” a program presented by Montana PBS’ Emmy Award-winning 11th and Grant, with Eric Funk; and in The Hive, a film produced by Tippet Rise Art Center. The depth of her experience and knowledge has made her perfectly suited to help the next generation of young musicians as an Associate Professor of Violin and Viola at Montana State University. Beyond her teaching, she serves on the Montana Arts Council and is the artistic director of the Big Sky Classical Music Festival. As a musician and teacher, she is excited to join the Board of Directors of the Bozeman Symphony Orchestra, where she feels she can help elevate and grow the arts in our community.
