Giving Societies
Make an exceptional impact. Earn extraordinary benefits.
It is the visionary spirit and atmosphere of greatness, promoted by our past Music Directors, which we hope to promote through the Maestro Circle giving socieites. Recognizing the contributions of donors who contribute at a $10,000 or above annual level, the Maestro Circle strives to nurture those supporters by thanking them with unique opportunities to experience the Orchestra. Whether it is providing members with exclusive previews to acclaimed upcoming performances, opportunities to mix and mingle with classical composers and musicians or other unique occasions to experience the magic of the Symphony, the Maestro Circle is our Orchestra's way of expressing appreciation to its members who are so critically important to ensuring a financially viable and stable future.
