For the last 130 years, the BSO has ensured everyone can experience the transformative power of music. By becoming a Patron or Performance Champion, you will ensure that we can continue to engage, inspire, and broaden horizons.
To say ‘thank you’, we’ll help you build an even closer relationship with the BSO. You’ll see the tremendous impact your gift has, get to know our musicians, and receive invitations to special events. By joining our close-knit philanthropic community, you’ll be at the heart of a world-class symphony orchestra, supporting trail-blazing work and changing lives for the better.
Being a Performance Champion enables me to say 'thank you' for the rich, musical impact that the BSO has made on my life from school days until retirement.
