Friends of the Symphony

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

For the rest, we must rely upon the generosity of our Friends of the Symphony. Contributions from our Friends enable the FWSO to present numerous Symphonic, Pops, and special concerts in the beautiful Bass Performance Hall, as well as performances during the annual Concerts in the Garden, educational concerts, and other diverse programming throughout the community and the state.

A Friends membership is your opportunity to gain a richer experience of the Symphony through exclusive benefits and privileges.
