Individual Benefits
As part of our donor family, you make our vision of Great Music in Every Life a reality every day. This season focuses on the power of NOW: soul-stirring music that is timelessly classic yet strikingly relevant to today. A strong Annual Fund provides the foundation for the Pittsburgh Symphony to continue performing at the highest levels while we innovate to engage new audiences, forge new partnerships, and reach deeper into our communities. You inspire your fellow Pittsburghers through the power of music, and you make our region a better place to live.
Benefits are offered for 1 year from your most recent donation. Benefit Event dates are subject to change as necessary based on the Pittsburgh Symphony schedule, public health requirements, or other circumstances beyond our control. If an event is removed from the calendar, donors will be invited to the next occurrence or to a comparable experience in the future.
Invitations and communications for donor benefits and events will be sent via email. To update your email or if you have questions, please contact the Development Department at 412.392.4880 or at pso_development@pittsburghsymphony.org. Thank you for your support and see you at the Symphony!
