Resiliency Fund
The PSO will need to raise at least $250,000 in Resiliency Fund gifts, in addition to Annual Fund gifts, to exit this crisis in a healthy position. The Delta variant is deeply impacting our ticket sales for the 2021-22 season.
The Resiliency Fund will help the PSO navigate the COVID-19 crisis.
Despite these challenges, the PSO has ambitious plans for the 2021-22 season.
Your Resiliency Fund gifts support four critical areas:
-
PSO musicians who have been impacted by the pandemic.
-
An innovative virtual season, including Magic of Christmas, produced by GRAMMY-winning PARMA and distributed on PSO TV.
-
Accessible and safe education programs that engage our youngest listeners with the joys of music.
-
Planning efforts for artistically rich programs for our future seasons, including our 100th season (2024-25).
Without this support, the PSO cannot serve its community to its full ability during the crisis and when it returns to stage.
The Resiliency Fund ensures that the PSO will be stronger, more relevant, and have a deeper connection to its community when it returns to the stage. This fund invests in the musicians and staff who make world-class programs possible onstage and virtually, and it advances meaningful music programs that enrich the lives of 100,000 children and adults each season.
While the PSO has been offstage, we have realigned our programs to meet the needs of our community and musicians. Through digital engagement, we have provided music to patrons, income to musicians, and engaging programs for students.
