Why support the BSO  

We are your co-workers and your kids’ teachers. We are your neighbors. We are your community orchestra.  

Did you know that the BSO does more than play concerts? We provide educational outreach to area children through our Children’s Instrument Recovery Program (ChIRP), our Side-by-Side Concerts, our Youth Concerto Competition, and our Meet the Instruments program. We also perform FREE public concerts in the park each summer. 

Ticket sales make up less than a third of our income. The rest comes from grants and donations from people like you. Your gift helps us continue to provide affordable programs and enables us to sustain our community orchestra for future generations. 

When you donate to the Bloomington Symphony Orchestra, your money makes a real difference in people’s lives. On behalf of everyone in the orchestra, the people in the audience, and the kids who benefit from our outreach and educational programs, thank you. Your support means a lot.
