The East Texas Symphony Orchestra Annual Fund campaign provides the backbone of support for the orchestra. It is a way for you to make a direct impact, helping the ETSO create the music you love. With ticket sales generating less that 25% of revenues necessary to cover production costs, it takes donations from individuals, businesses and foundations to help the ETSO reach its financial goals each year.

Your tax-deductible gift to the Annual Fund provides for the behind the scenes work necessary to bring you the great concert performances you expect from the East Texas Symphony Orchestra. Your Annual Fund gift helps create special moments beyond the concert hall through Noon Notes, Opening Notes, and guest artist master classes. You also are creating wonderful opportunities for children to experience the arts through community engagement programs such as they orchestra's Young Peoples Series, the Kirshbaum Strings violin instruction program, Side by Side performance opportunities for student musicians, and collaborative ventures with other community organizations in East Texas that take musicians into the classroom.

Your generosity enriches the cultural life of East Texas by helping to sustain an organization that has been at the heart of Tyler’s arts community for over 60 seasons.

You can provide the sustaining notes needed to ensure that the East Texas Symphony Orchestra is making beautiful music this season and for seasons to come.

Please make your tax-deductible gift to the East Texas Symphony Orchestra Annual Fund today.
