Support the Symphony

Why Give to the Symphony

Our dedication as a society to supporting the arts says a lot about who we are.

The Victoria Symphony orchestra relies on community-minded companies and individuals to help us provide superb symphonic music, to strengthen our programs, and to enrich the lives of the members of our community. This is your opportunity to show your commitment to the arts by giving tangible resources for the Victoria Symphony to continue the season concerts, community outreach programs, education concerts and on-going efforts to make sure the members of our orchestra keep contributing to the rich cultural fabric of Vancouver Island.

How to help the Victoria Symphony
