Your support is INSTRUMENTAL
The Victoria Symphony inspires, educates, and captivates our community through the transformational power of music.
The support of our donors and sponsors is vital to keeping symphonic music alive in our community and the Victoria Symphony strong. Our donors and sponsors are our heroes, and the reason we are able to do what we do all year long.
Their impact and the work of the Victoria Symphony goes far beyond what you see on stage at the concert hall. We’re happy to share the impact of this work in our community and in the lives of so many individuals.
“A growing audience, generous donors, government funders, and corporate sponsors all continue to recognize the value that this orchestra brings to Victoria’s cultural life… Despite all of the recent success, however, we are dealing with a key issue shared by other orchestras across the country, production expenses are rising faster than revenues. We continue to advocate for the important role the symphony plays in civic life and feel optimistic that the necessary community support will continue to be there.” – Matthew White, VS CEO
“We can do anything, in agreement and harmony, if we do it together. It really is possible. It is called music.” – Christian Kluxen, VS Music Director
