Circles of the Symphony

Did you know that ticket sales generate less than 50% of the Orchestra's annual budget?

For the rest the Symphony must rely upon the generosity of our Circle Membersour most generous and loyal supports who contribute $2,000 or more a year. Contributions from Circle Members enable the FWSO to consistently present world-class performances and stellar guest artists in the beautiful Bass Performance Hall as well as performances during the annual Concerts in the Garden.
