The Bancroft Initiative was launched by Symphony Board member Paul Bancroft and his wife, Clara, along with the Bancroft-Clair Foundation. The plan for the 12year Initiative is to help the Symphony continue their Youth /Education Programs in addition to funding the new ASO website, along with new educational videos that “tell the story” of the Symphony’s programs.

Next year, the Bancroft Initiative will help underwrite a new type of Masterworks Series concert at the Long Center. These innovative concerts, which present compositions from around the world, will continue each year. Maestro Peter Bay has already planned the program for the first Initiative performance, scheduled for September 2021, which celebrates the sounds of Mexico, Argentina, and Spain.

COVID-19 Emergency Fund

D ONat e NOW! INt e r NatIONaL Ly, W e are FaCI N G one of the greatest historical challenges with COViD-19. For the Austin Symphony Orchestra, this is no different, since opening our doors in 1911.

As individuals, we are all doing what we can to help by sheltering in place, ensuring that our loved ones and neighbors remain healthy. the Austin Symphony Orchestra survived the Spanish Flu of 1918. We survived two World Wars. yet, COViD-19 is the most significant threat we have seen due to its potential to impact our budget with the cancellation of concerts. Congress recognized the difficulties that nonprofits face and included changes to charitable contributions through the CArES Act. We will survive this adversity knowing that the greatest way to show love right now is to keep the hall empty.

Donate now to the ASO COViD-19 Emergency Fund and show your love for our talented musicians. Help ASO keep performing.

All of us here at ASO are thinking of you and yours,

Anthony Corroa Executive Director
