ASO | IN TUNE

DEAR FRIENDS,

December is a special time at the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra. The Hall fills with festive decorations, glowing lights, and the voices of thousands of friends and family as they gather to honor past traditions and create new memories. As we come together to celebrate the season, we also remember and give thanks to those who have made a difference in our lives. This year, as always, we are especially grateful for our ASO patrons and donors, and your unwavering support. Our work could not be accomplished without the generous support of thousands pulling together to make a lasting impact on our community. Just as each musician is an integral part of the Orchestra’s sound, your Annual Fund support plays an essential role in creating the music of the ASO. Ticket sales provide only about half of our operating expenses, and so it is your generosity that enables the ASO to:

Transform thousands of lives through the power of our music with live performances in Symphony Hall and virtual Behind the Curtain concerts Inspire young musicians to pursue their passion with unparalleled training in the Atlanta Symphony Youth Orchestra and the Talent Development Program Offer free and discounted concert access to thousands of students, teachers, veterans, and lower-income families Weave our sound into the fabric of Atlanta through creative

partnerships with local organizations

Now is a perfect time to make your Annual Fund gift, thanks to a generous anonymous donor who will match all new and increased gifts to the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra. Please visit aso.org/donate to learn how you can participate in this match and double the impact of your support. Thank you for giving the gift of music this holiday season! We hope your holidays are full of good health, joy, and of course, beautiful music. With gratitude,

TODD HALL
