A large portion of our revenue each year is ticket and subscriptions from our concert patrons. The Symphony is only able to continue, especially in trying times like these, with the support of generous donors like you. There are many ways you can help us out:
From our Conductor, Jay Friedman:
Dear S/OP&RF friends:
As we start our 94th season, I want to personally thank you for your support of our arts organization. In these trying times, the fine arts play an even more crucial role in our everyday lives, but unfortunately are susceptible to the whims of the overall economy and changing entertainment tastes. Classical music has always been an art form for a select group of people and I think that is its strength.
Our budget is almost totally dependent on our benefactors and donors. You are the lifeblood of our arts organization. Our commitment to the highest standards of programming, including repertoire and engagement of the area’s top soloists is something that we take pride in and will continue to do so with your help.
Again, I want to thank you for your continued support of our orchestra and chorus. Our board of directors and I look forward to a season of continued artistic excellence.
Sincerely,
Jay Friedman
Music Director

Volunteer
As a not-for-profit organization, volunteers are the backbone of the organization. Volunteering is a wonderful way of donating a portion of your time and your expertise to give back to your community. As a volunteer you will be behind the scenes and experience the day-to-day operations and be a part of a vibrant arts organization.
Your volunteering can make an important contribution. The Symphony of Oak Park & River Forest welcomes those interested in volunteering their time and talents. Let us know your preference and we’ll forward it along to the appropriate contact!
From our Board President, David Leehey:
Thank you very much for whatever you can do to support your Symphony!
David
