Harmonious brilliance for 86 years.

The New Jersey Symphony Orchestra offers world-class music and musicians, spectacular guest artists and innovative community-outreach programs throughout New Jersey and beyond.

Ticket sales account for only 30% of the NJSO’s operating costs.
We rely on generous contributions from our concert patrons and loyal donors to help make up the difference.

Each patron’s participation is important and necessary to support the Orchestra. Imagine if each of our 13,350 subscribers gave $50—that would be $667,500 in additional donations. If each of our 14,000 single-ticket buyers gave $25—that would be $350,000—a total of more than $1 million in additional donations to support Orchestra programs.

Play your part by making a Symphony Friends donation today, and help us:
   • Offer BEST OF ... , Family and POPS Series along with our traditional Classical series.
   • Present concerts at seven fine venues throughout New Jersey.
   • Provide outstanding education programs to children in urban and underserved areas.
   • Engage communities through outreach programs at hospitals, libraries and senior centers.

Your gift to the New Jersey Symphony Orchestra’s Annual Fund comes with many benefits, including opportunities to enhance your enjoyment of the 2009–10 season by meeting other music lovers, special guest artists and your NJSO musicians.
