Conductor’s Circle

Your Conductor’s Circle donation is integral to maintaining the excellence of the Victoria Symphony. From our dynamic Music Director, Maestro Christian Kluxen, to our innovative programming and educational and outreach programs, your gift supports the Symphony in many ways. Your Conductor’s Circle recognition also includes enhanced concert experiences and all the benefits of a Victoria Symphony Friend.

Over 350 individuals have joined the Victoria Symphony’s Conductor’s Circle by making gifts of $1,000 or more. These gifts enable the Symphony to perform over 60 concerts each season for 140,000 people, including 18,000 schoolchildren.
