Support

The Des Moines Symphony & Academy benefits from the incredibly generous support of hundreds of individuals, foundations and corporations in order to continue its 75-year tradition of bringing extraordinary musical experiences and outstanding musical education opportunities to Central Iowa.

Thank you for considering a contribution to the Symphony & Academy!

Personal Giving

Ticket sales revenue, though robust over the past several seasons, covers less than half the cost required for the Des Moines Symphony Orchestra to perform the world’s great orchestral music. Contributions to the Orchestra Annual Fund allow us to hire talented musicians, book world-class guest artists and much, much more.

The Des Moines Symphony Academy offers classes and lessons to children and adults throughout the community. Donations to the Academy help to cover the costs of teaching our young musicians, provide scholarships for qualified students and give talented young people opportunities to perform great symphonic music.
