This Thanksgiving season, our hearts are full of gratitude—for you.
From November 19 to 26, we celebrate Donor Appreciation Week, a time to honor all that you do to ensure the Des Moines Symphony & Academy continues to enrich the Central Iowa community.
Because of your generosity, our concerts bring more than music. They create shared experiences that lift spirits, spark inspiration, and leave lasting memories. These moments are the very definition of a strong, thriving community, and your support is what makes them possible. You are the foundation of this community.
Your contributions also reach far beyond the stage. They provide opportunities for young musicians in the Academy to explore, learn, and grow, helping to shape the next generation of artists and community leaders. They allow us to offer programs and performances that connect people from all walks of life, nurturing creativity and a love of music that will enrich Central Iowa for decades to come.
There are many reasons for us to be thankful, but the greatest is you. You make our music possible, and for that, we are profoundly grateful.
Happy Donor Appreciation Week!
