In his role at the ISO, he is tasked with advancing the ISO’s mission by establishing the organization’s strategic plan and marshalling the human and financial capital to achieve success. With an annual budget of more than $27 million, the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra presents more than 180 performances each year. From its home at Hilbert Circle Theatre and its residency at Conner Prairie, the ISO reaches nearly 300,000 community members annually, including nearly 50,000 students.
 
Prior to accepting the position in Indianapolis, Johnson served as President and Chief Executive Officer at the Omaha Symphony for seven years. Before his appointment in Omaha in 2011, Johnson served as the Chief Executive Officer of The New York Pops, and held operations positions at the Orchestra of St. Luke’s and Martha Graham Dance Company. He earned a Bachelor of Arts from Pacific Lutheran University, and a Master of Business Administration and a Master of Arts in Arts Administration from Southern Methodist University.
