Individual Giving
When you contribute to the DSSO you are supporting the region’s largest arts organization. Your gift is essential in creating high quality live musical performances and unparalleled community engagement opportunities including:
High quality orchestral concerts that reach thousands of audience members annually — many concerts include world-class guest artists who come to perform with the DSSO.
Education and Community engagement programs designed to meet the needs of children and adults with any level of symphony experience. Over 190 talented musicians whose presence in our community enriches our teaching institutions, our music industry and our arts culture in the Twin Ports area.
Distinction for Duluth and Superior as a first rate arts, culture and entertainment city — promoting social and economic development for all of northeast Minnesota and northwest Wisconsin
All this is possible only through the generous support of patrons like you.
Your Donations
Have you ever wondered exactly how the DSSO uses donations? Donations provide the funding required to operate a large professional orchestra, which in turn enhances the quality of life for every resident in our region.
Your money is spent on:
- Music Performance: Your gift will be used to fund orchestra rehearsals, sheet music, hall rental, and musicians’ fees. All of these things are essential to bring symphonic music to life for our audiences.
- Youth Education: In order to build the audiences of tomorrow, the DSSO must reach out to the youth of today. Your gift will be used to fund Young People’s Concerts, the Lollipop Concerts and hands-on instrumental music instruction through the DSSO Youth Orchestras teaching and performances. Education is also supported by donations that allow us to offer reduced-priced student tickets.
- Operations: Behind the scenes, a symphony has many needs. Your gift will be used to fund administrative costs—everything from marketing our concerts to buying paper for the copy machine!
