Join the Vermont Symphony Orchestra in creating musical resonance in Vermont by supporting high-quality performances and educational programs throughout the state.

For over seventy years, the VSO has been sharing the joy of music with people across the state. Through more than 250 orchestral, chamber, choral, and educational outreach presentations, we reach approximately 60,000 Vermonters every year. Our SymphonyKids educational program is one of the most extensive of its kind in America - in the 2005/2006 season, we offered 167 SymphonyKids presentations in 132 towns, connecting with nearly 50% of elementary and middle school students in Vermont!

VSO Members play a crucial role in sustaining a tradition of artistic excellence that improves the quality of life in this great state. Even with sold-out performances, ticket revenue and concert fees alone cannot cover the cost of presenting musical and educational programs of the highest caliber. We rely on our Members to help us meet the community’s needs and achieve our goals. And as a Member you will know that your financial contribution supports performances and in-school educational programs in and around your local community!

Consider the many programs your membership contribution will support:

• Orchestral Youth Concerts
• Musicians-in-the-Schools
• Musical Petting Zoo
• Green Room Program for high school kids
• Masterworks Series
• Made in Vermont Music Festival
• Summer Festival Tour
• Holiday concerts

A minimum gift of $50 enrolls you as a Member in the Vermont Symphony Orchestra Association for one year. If you are interested in becoming a Member, or for more information, please contact Mike Peluse, Development Director, at (800) 876-9293, ext. 25. You can also send your gift to the VSO at 2 Church St., Burlington, VT 05401.
