The Roanoke Symphony Orchestra continues to play to capacity crowds throughout the concert season with music of the highest artistic excellent. Your Symphony plays not only in Roanoke, but extends its reach to nearby communities and schools that might otherwise never experience a live, professional orchestra.
Your support makes this happen as tickets alone provide less than half of the revenue necessary to fund subscription series, outreach concerts to communities both near and far, and increased educational programs and activities for our youth.
If you are a current supporter, thank you for ensuring that the music lives and lasts. If you interested in learning how to join our donor family, read on....
