Support & Volunteer

Berkeley Symphony donors and supporters develop a deeper connection to the music and artists, and make it possible for the orchestra to present innovative concerts, world-class guest soloists, commissions and premieres, emerging composer development, and award-winning music education for all public elementary school children in Berkeley.

We invite you to consider being a part of this incredible Berkeley Symphony community through one or more of the following ways:

Individual Giving

Individual donations are crucial to our mission as a cutting-edge orchestra. They help underwrite our artistic and administrative fees and other basic infrastructure of our organization.

Corporate Giving

Berkeley Symphony brings new meaning to the phrase “only in Berkeley” with its adventurous programming and unwavering commitment to music education. Our Corporate sponsors are recognized not only as partners to one of the City’s anchor cultural institutions, but also as supporters of the community.

Planned Giving

Leave a lasting and meaningful impact on Berkeley Symphony’s programs while fulfilling your future financial needs by remembering us in your estate plans.

Support Music Education

Berkeley Symphony is proud to enter its eighteenth year of partnership with the Berkeley Unified School District, providing music education to Berkeley public elementary students. Your contribution is instrumental to the continuation and success of our Music in the Schools program.

Advertising

Program advertising is a major way to support the vitality of Berkeley Symphony. Advertising in the concert programs demonstrates to the audience and the orchestra that our community cares about and is committed to the arts and culture in Berkeley. In return, our advertisers receive exposure to a large and captive audience, and acknowledgement on the Berkeley Symphony website.

Volunteer

Volunteering is a great way to get involved “behind the scenes” with Berkeley Symphony. We offer ongoing volunteer opportunities, including assisting with concerts and special events, as well as light administrative work in the office.
