Support Your Symphony

“To have great poets,” Walt Whitman once wrote, “there must be great audiences.”

The same holds true for having a great symphony — and this is where you come in.

The Tulsa Symphony Orchestra will strengthen, improve, and enrich our community in ways both immediate and long-term, but we need your help to do so.

Join us as we set forth to fortify and enliven the Tulsa community as only a great orchestra can!

TSO is a charitable organization under the provisions of Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. Donations, bequests and transfers are deductible for federal income, estate, and gift tax purposes.

Play Your Part

When musicians of the Tulsa Symphony Orchestra take the stage, it is the culmination of tens of thousands of practice hours.  Each individual has prepared his or her part to perfection and holds rank as one of the most accomplished musicians in the field.  But one person doesn’t make a symphony orchestra.  Nor does a handful.  The same number of musicians are necessary to perform a Beethoven symphony today as almost 200 years ago.

In order to maintain the artistic integrity of the Tulsa Symphony Orchestra and ensure its future, we need your help.  As a nonprofit organization, TSO relies on contributions for the greater part of its budget, and could not exist without the generosity of friends like you.

So how can you play your part?  Your gift to TSO will help ensure a tradition of world class symphonic music in Tulsa and Northeast Oklahoma for future generations.  Just as every musician counts–every gift counts.

This group of distinguished donors is honored annually by a gala black tie dinner with a TSO guest conductor, topped off with a performance by TSO’s concertmaster, a principal musician, or a TSO ensemble.  Each year, members of the Vivaldi Society make a gift of $2,500 or more to the TSO Annual Fund.  This fund is crucial to the day-to-day operations of the organization,  concert production and presentation of our educational and community outreach programs.
