GIFTS to the GSO
Ticket sales cover less than 30 percent of our operating costs. For that reason, every gift to the GSO, no matter its size, has a profound impact on the orchestra’s ability to fulfill its mission, which includes presenting inspiring performances of outstanding music and offering rich music education for Greenwich’s school children.
CORPORATE, FOUNDATION, & GOVERNMENT SUPPORT
Greenwich Symphony is enormously grateful for Corporate, Foundation, and Government Support that boosts our musicians’ work as performers and educators.
For information on being a Corporate Sponsor, please contact us here.

BENEFACTORS
