It helps guarantee that future generations of Rogue Valley citizens and visitors will be thrilled by performances of great symphonic music the same as you have been. It ensures that young people will continue to be mentored, taught, and exposed to classical music by RVS musicians. Endowment gifts are a minimum of $1000, all are acknowledged in concert programs, and those who donate become members of the esteemed Encore Society.

Major donors and sponsors are invited to attend our post-concert receptions, where they can meet with the music director, soloist(s), and members of the orchestra over wine and hors d’oeuvres. In-kind donations reduce the cost of our operations. From refreshments for our musicians at rehearsals to hotel rooms for our visiting artists, there are many ways you or your business can provide assistance.
