2010-2011 ANNUAL FUND
Season after season, the Annapolis Symphony Orchestra plays on because of the loyalty of our audience and our generous donors. You can help make the music happen by contributing to the ASO’s 2010-2011 Annual Fund Campaign.
Did you know ticket sales pay for less than half of the expenses to operate the Annapolis Symphony Orchestra each year?
Annual contributions help the ASO maintain a balanced budget and allow us to achieve our mission to present professional, memorable symphonic music in Maryland's capital.
When you give to the ASO, you help support:
- Professional symphonic performances including the Lexus Classic Series, Family Concerts and Pops Series.
- The FREE outdoor concert each year in the ASO Lexus Summer Series.
- Education concerts and outreach programs, including ASO’s award-winning Adopt-A-School partnerships, Instrument Drive, and The Music Van.
- A leading organization in a vibrant, professional arts community in the Annapolis/Chesapeake Bay Region
- The ASO welcomes your tax deductible contribution of any amount. Special recognition and benefits are available to members of the ASO's Orchestra and Leadership Circles.
