Click to Give Now

Together, we can continue to build community and provide memorable experiences that welcome and entertain your family, friends and neighbors with great music, imaginative themes and top notch talent — live and virtually.

Your gift today supports accessible and affordable musical programs throughout our community. No gift is too small. Your support is critical and will have an immediate impact in making unique and engaging KSO performances available next year.

Now through December 31st, you have the opportunity to double or triple your impact! Thanks to an extraordinary challenge grant, all gifts from new donors, and any increased support from past donors will be matched dollar for dollar, up to $25,000 by the Paula M. Steiner Gift Fund.

Triple your impact!
Make three times the impact by becoming a sustaining member with a monthly or quarterly contribution. All recurring gifts will be matched $2 to $1. If you pledge $20 a month, the grantor gives $40. In a year, you wiil have given $240, and the KSO will have received $720. (That covers the average cost for a classroom to participate in the KSO’s free education program).

No gift is too small. Your tax-deductible support is critical and will have an immediate impact in making unique and engaging KSO performances available next year.

“The arts play a vital role in troubled times, a fact happily demonstrated by the Kentucky Symphony Orchestra.” – Cincinnati Enquirer

Your help now will allow us to plan another spectacular season of live and virtual concerts that includes the affordably-priced subscription series — chock full of area premieres, and special guest artists — plus an expanded free summer series in both Devou and Tower Parks, as well as free, fun and engaging educational concerts for greater Cincinnati schools.

Your gift supports accessible and affordable musical programs throughout our community touching many:

• Teachers tell us “My students would not have as many high-quality opportunities to experience music if the KSO did not offer these free programs.”
• Subscription Series patrons believe concerts are “unique” or “different” from other events they could attend in the Greater Cincinnati area, and are very innovative.
• Summer Series attendees appreciate the free “family-friend concerts” and state “The KSO is important to the region’s vitality.”

Your vital support makes it all possible! We appreciate your interest and generosity.

Please help us take advantage of this generous matching gift opportunity!

If you can’t give now, a pledge of support will allow us to meet the match (email [email protected]). Prefer to give by check. Please mail to KSO, PO Box 72810, Newport KY 41072.

The KSO also accept gifts of stock, IRA disbursements and RMD — for additional information contact Angela Williamson, at [email protected] or 859-431-6216.
