Symphony
Devotee Opportunities
The Danville Symphony is an aggregate of
experienced adult and talented young musicians from Danville and the
surrounding area. We are sponsored by the City of Danville Department
of Parks, Recreation and Tourism which provides some funding. Various
grants and private donations in the past have provided for vitally
needed equipment.
We continue to solicit your contributions to
support the expansion of our repertoire, venue fees, music performance
rights fees, solo artist fees, and repair and maintenance of equipment.
Occasionally "fill-in" musicians are needed when specific
instrumentalists are not available in the area.
We hope you will deem the "Symphony Devotee
Program" worthy of your consideration in your support of the arts in
our community. Through your contributions, the Danville Symphony
Orchestra will continue to bring fine music to this community and
remain a viable cultural asset.
All contributions to The Danville Symphony
Orchestra are tax deductible under current IRS regulations.
