Individual Donations
SOST relies significantly on the generosity of many individuals. Since its inception, SOST’s individual contributions have enabled us to provide a great variety of music, support a full-scale symphonic orchestra with competitive wages for musicians, attract first-rate guest artists, and perform in a hall that is both technically and aesthetically excellent. Individual contributions signal a special understanding of the intricacies of maintaining a professional orchestra, knowing that ticket income alone will not provide the resources for us to realize our musical goals. No donation is too small, many come with special recognition and benefits.
