Sustaining Circle
As we move into our 79th season we need your help to keep the music flowing …
Make an annual or monthly contribution. It’s easy to help sustain the orchestral arts.
We greatly appreciate your patronage in the past and look forward to your continuing support to assure our musical future. We are excited to again offer four performances for the symphony orchestra and will be adding some new twists to the Chamber Series. We continue to partner with the La Grande School District to bring Fiddle Club in an after-school program to over 60 students each term. Plus, the Grande Ronde Junior Symphony will continue the ‘re-imagined’ before-school format in 2026-2027.
As a donor, your contribution will go into our general operating fund to help with all of these programs. As always, our goal is to foster joy in the making, hearing, and sharing of music. Please help us keep the music flowing with your contribution today!
Become a Donor of the Grande Ronde Symphony with a one-time donation or become a member of the Sustaining Circle with recurring donations.
