$15,000 Match Challenge!

The DSO is a proud recipient of a $15,000 Anonymous Title Concert Sponsorship for our Origin Stories concert on September 27th. Our anonymous donor presented us with a challenge. If we could raise another $15,000 before our performance of The Nutcracker on December 7th, they will match it with another $15,000—bringing in a total of $45,000! We are pleased to announce that we have exceeded that match! We are extremely grateful to everyone who has helped us achieve our goal. We do not grow without you. We do not thrive without you. And we cannot spread the joy of orchestral music in our community without you!
