Annual Fund - Crescendo Campaign
Build WPS to a Crescendo!
At Western Piedmont Symphony (WPS), we know that great music inspires, is an expression of our shared humanity, and that music is for everyone. From beloved classical masterworks to innovative chamber and popular music, world-class guest artists and cutting-edge orchestral music - there is truly something for everyone to experience and enjoy at your Symphony.
The presence of a dynamic and creative professional orchestra is the crown jewel of our arts community, and WPS leads the way in making the region a vibrant and thriving destination to live, work, and play. Our programming is reflective of our entire western foothills community, bringing each of us together to express our stories, and is accessible and uplifting for everyone.
Your support for Western Piedmont Symphony enriches the lives of young musicians and strengthens the region’s cultural community. The immediate impact of your contribution affects all aspects of the Symphony: general operation, community engagement, musician salaries, youth education, and more.
Please consider a gift to the Crescendo Annual Fund – any amount is a meaningful expression of your support for what we do so well: inspiring and connecting communities through the power of symphonic music.
LEVELS OF GENEROSITY
At Western Piedmont Symphony, we deeply value our supporters and strive to make you feel appreciated. We have several Levels of Generosity to show our appreciation for our supporters. These gifts are used to support our primary mission of providing musical performances of distinction that enrich and enliven the community’s classical music experience
Below are a variety of benefits of becoming a Western Piedmont Symphony Supporter.
Keep in mind that these levels are CUMULATIVE, meaning to reach a certain level, the full amount does not need to be given at once.
Every gift – large or small – is important to us, and will be acknowledged in our annual program book. THANK YOU for your gift! Our Western Piedmont Symphony depends on your generosity!
