Did you know…

TSO touches the lives of nearly 20,000 people in our community through concerts, education and outreach?

TSO serves more than 6,000 fifth-grade students, their teachers and parents every year through an award winning youth education program called “Simply Symphonic?”

On average, 80% of every dollar contributed to TSO goes directly to our artistic product- live symphonic music?

Ticket income only covers 1/3 of costs of bringing live, enriching music to our TSO audience and community?

2/3 of operating income comes to TSO through the generosity of the community via gifts, grants and sponsorships?

Your investment is extremely important for the future of TSO!
