please consider giving to your symphony to bring back the programming and community impact you love, year after year.
Encore! Means the audience wants more. And we wish to deliver you more!
We want to see Glacier Symphony continue to bring music to the hearts of our Flathead Valley listeners, and we hope you feel the same and demand an Encore! from us. In order to come back to the stage for years to come, we are planning responsible methods to grow our impact and fiscal health as your symphony.
Ticket sales only account for one-third of what it costs to run the Glacier Symphony Orchestra and Chorale. Individual donors and business partners make up the bulk of what it takes to mount the performances you see on stage, along with the education and outreach work we do in the community. Your support is not only appreciated, but essential to what we do. We THANK YOU in advance for your commitment! Our goal is to continue being good stewards of the financial resources you entrust to us.
Every Gift matters and will help us reach our fundraising goal of
$325,000
to support Glacier Symphony’s fiscal health and programming in our 41st Season
Excellence today.
Incomparable music in an incomparable part of the world.
From a modest beginning in 1982, the Glacier Symphony has grown into a full symphony orchestra and chorale offering a year-round performance schedule … a significant cultural asset contributing to a vibrant community and changing lives through great music. How do we do it?
Programming an increasingly dynamic and inspiring variety of musical experiences from the classical repertoire and beyond.
Inviting acclaimed guest artists to perform with the Symphony and collaborating with artists in visual arts, theater, film, poetry, and dance to delight audiences of all ages.
Culturally enhancing our valley to attract tourism dollars and business development.
Employing local/regional musicians throughout our concert season.
Partnering with local businesses and organizations to increase the positive impact of our concerts, events, and music education programs.
Building Tomorrow.
More music for more people.
Flathead Valley audiences embraced performances in our new concert home, McClaren Hall at the Wachholz College Center, in a big way during its first year! For our upcoming season, Glacier Symphony plans even more! Our goals include:
Bringing audiences more concerts, program variety, and extraordinary guest artists.
Expanding outreach and music education through our community/business partnerships and Youth Music Experience programs.
Continue artistic growth by increasing compensation for musicians comparable to other Montana and regional orchestras.
Building operating reserves to provide stability for our organization and growing our endowment to provide a base of financial security.
Purchasing a smaller office building for our small staff, music library, and box office. This investment will keep overhead expenses at a manageable level for many years and provide a long-term home for operations, allowing us to focus available funds and energies on Glacier Symphony performances.
