Leadership Giving

Leadership Donors are some of the most enthusiastic supporters of the Madison Symphony Orchestra. These individuals exemplify the philanthropic spirit of our community. Their support provides almost 50% of our contributed income every year over all sources. When you become a Leadership Donor with an annual gift of $2,000 or more, your Symphony experience will be enhanced with exclusive benefits and opportunities, including unprecedented opportunities to engage with individual members of the Orchestra, internationally-renowned guest artists and Music Director, John DeMain.
