- $50 covers the cost of one underserved family to attend our Family Concerts.
A STORY FROM OUR AGENCY:
During the past three years, our community has rallied together to provide support to LSO’s musicians -- both to those who were able to be on stage at every concert, and also to those who were unable to fit on stage due to social distancing requirements. Community support has sustained LSO’s regular operations, including complimentary tickets for veterans and immigrant and refugee families, and reduced prices for students and music teachers. Continuing to provide live music to our community has been a balm for our soul, an opportunity to gather together to celebrate, mourn, heal, and hope.
“LSO’s commitment to and support of our family of musicians has been a cornerstone of the organization. Nothing shows this better than the incredible step that LSO has taken in paying all the musicians this year. It is such a beautiful thing - it brings tears to my eyes to think of what this means for us all.”
“This isn’t only about compensation; it sends us a message that our community values the arts and values us and wants to see us get through this pandemic. It’s been hard on us not playing together; it chips away at the essence of who we are. And when this pandemic is over, we will be bursting with joy to get on that stage and share our gifts with you.”
