Support the Symphony
As we close out the year, we celebrate the heart of the Central Oregon Symphony: a community-based orchestra built on the generosity, passion, and volunteer spirit of its musicians. Since its founding in 1967 as part of the Central Oregon Community College Fine Arts Department, the Symphony has grown from modest beginnings into a cornerstone of the region's arts scene-celebrating its 50th season in 2016-17 and continuing to expand its reach today.
We believe music is a participatory art form. Your support helps us create more opportunities for our musicians to perform throughout Central Oregon and ensures that these performances remain accessible to everyone in our community.
With your generosity, programs like Music Masters, Music in Public Places, and Symphony Stars! continue to flourish-bringing renowned guest artists to the region, presenting free chamber concerts in libraries and public venues, and connecting hundreds of young students to orchestral music right in their classrooms.
As you consider your end-of-year giving, we invite you to help us share classical music traditions with future generations and sustain a vibrant, community-powered orchestra for years to come.
