Your Ann Arbor Symphony Orchestra is passionately committed to lead and enrich the culture of the region. We attract, inspire and educate a diverse audience, foster a growing appreciation for excellent music and regional talent, and provide imaginative programming through community involvement.

“If I played a CD of this orchestra for someone, they would have thought it was the Vienna Philharmonic. It proves my point that you don’t have to be in a great big city to have a great orchestra.”
— William Bolcom, National Medal of Arts, Pulitzer Prize, and Grammy Award-winner composer
Give Music
We rely on the generous support of individuals, foundations, and corporations to bring our music to life for over 80,000 Michiganders annually. We look forward to working with you to bridge your dreams and philanthropic goals to help make the music happen – both on- and offstage.
The Annual Fund provides critical operating support to present our season of concerts and education and community engagement activities. Donors know that ticket prices cover less than half the cost of putting on a concert. We know that without support from these individuals, foundations, companies, and government our season would not be possible.
