Sustaining

the Symphony

Your contributions to West Michigan Symphony help to sustain a vital community resource. Nearly 60% of contributions to WMS during the 2018-19 season came from individual patrons, with the remainder generated from corporate and foundation support. We extend our deepest appreciation to you for helping make WMS a cultural touchstone in our community.

The listings below represent total pledges and gifts by each patron household from August 1, 2018 through July 31, 2019. This includes our Annual Fund, Education Fund, and other special initiatives. In particular, we wish to express our gratitude to Mike and Kay Olthoff for their support of our Year-End Matching Challenge.

We have given careful attention to ensure a complete and accurate list. Please notify us of any inaccuracies by calling 231.726.3231.

COMPOSER CLUB

Without the patroness Nadezhda von Meck, the music of Tchaikovsky might never have been heard. Archduke Rudolph was instrumental in advancing the music of Ludwig van Beethoven. In this great tradition, members of our Composer Club combine their resources to support the creation and performance of new music on the WMS Season.

West Michigan Symphony is dedicated to providing programs that help children develop an appreciation for music that they will carry with them their entire lives. Your donations to the Education Fund help the WMS provide in-house music instruction programs as well as music enrichment opportunities that reach deeply into our local schools and community organizations.
