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.
