WHY GIVE
Individual Giving
Your Performance is the Important One
It is the mission of the Plano Symphony Orchestra to inspire, educate, entertain and involve the children, youth, and adults of our community in the enjoyment of great music. Plano Symphony events touch the lives of over 190,000 North Texans annually. But even with a long record of sold-out houses, individual contributions are vital to sustain the mission.
You Make the Difference in Our Community
Your support helps makes the following possible:
Concerts with internationally acclaimed guest artists
40,000 children in the EncoreYouth Education Program
- Healing Notes — combining performances with Music Therapy
- The Plano Symphony Instrumental Petting Zoo
- Family Series Concerts
- Plano Symphony Education Scholarship Program
- Ensemble performances throughout North Texas
How to Give
Please consider supporting these wonderful investments in our community with an individual donation. The Plano Symphony must raise nearly 70% of its operating budget annually. Gifts of any size are important.
