SUPPORT YOUR ORCHESTRA

With the Chicago Symphony Orchestra at its core, the mission of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra Association is to enrich, inspire and transform lives through music, community engagement and education — locally, nationally and internationally. Our ability to uphold this mission is reliant on the support of the many generous donors who give each season.

Gifts to the CSOA support not only the work of the world-renowned Orchestra, but also the ability to host guest artists and ensembles — including jazz musicians, pianists and touring orchestras — through the Symphony Center Presents series. When you attend a concert at Symphony Center, you experience the breadth and depth of music under one roof.

Your support also makes possible the community and educational programs of the Negaunee Music Institute, such as CSO for Kids concerts, the Percussion Scholarship Program and special performances and events in community centers across the city. These programs, and many more, are made available completely free or at very low cost, thanks to thousands of generous donors.

If the music and programs of the CSOA have impacted your life, help ensure they have the greatest impact on the lives of others by making a donation today.
