Elnora Milliken, founder of the Traverse Symphony Orchestra and lifelong friend and supporter of the arts, passed away recently. A talented musician and dedicated philanthropist, Elnora was a driving force for the arts in Northern Michigan.

In 2005, Elnora appeared on an episode of IPR's "Island Cabin Discs." In the clip below, she talks about becoming a violin teacher, meeting her husband John and forming the Traverse Symphony Orchestra.
