Dear Friends,
As we approach the end of the year, I’ve been reflecting on the moments that show why this orchestra matters so deeply to our community. One of those moments came after a recent concert, when an audience member quietly asked if we could bring musicians to her retirement home. “My friends can’t get out anymore,” she said, “but they would treasure this music.”
That simple request captures why our work must reach beyond the concert hall. Across the South Sound, families are stretched, seniors feel isolated, veterans seek healing, and patients hope for comfort. In all of these places, music makes a difference. It lifts spirits. It creates connection. It reminds people that joy is still possible.
Our new Standing Ovation campaign will invite our community to take part in something bigger than applause at the end of each year—a shared commitment to helping the music reach further.
Your support helps Symphony Tacoma:
- Bring performances to seniors who can no longer attend concerts
- Provide meaningful musical experiences for veterans
- Expand music education for young people
- Continue presenting inspiring performances for the South Sound
Make your tax-deductible gift and help ensure that Symphony Tacoma can continue showing up where music is needed most.
Let’s start the next standing ovation together! Thank you!
Kit Evans
President
Symphony Tacoma Board of Directors
