Annual Fund
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 and Academy Annual Fund, including through the Symphony’s three professional circles, allow us to hire talented musicians, engage world-class guest artists, offer education and instruction to young musicians and much, much more.
