Thank you for visiting my website! My name is Aelsa Woods, and I'm the contracted general manager of two central Illinois orchestras (one community orchestra and one youth orchestra), with a decade of experience in the nonprofits and music marketing field.

I started my journey as a musician at age ten, and decided while playing my first full orchestra concert at seventeen that I wanted to work in this field forever.

I'm thankful to be able to say that dream has come true. Not only do I run two orchestras and consult, I also work full-time managing the marketing department at central Illinois' largest and oldest music store chain.

I'm a proud mother to a darling and adventurous three year old, delightfully married to my life's love, and blessed to be surrounded by a community of female entrepreneurs and business owners who have become my closest friends.
