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.
