Give the Gift of Music!
In the heart of Summerville, a small town with a big passion for music, the Summerville Orchestra stands as a cultural hub, creating a symphonic experience that resonates far beyond the walls of the Performing Arts Center. A journey into the orchestra's world reveals a tapestry of initiatives that enrich the community in ways that extend far beyond the notes played during a concert.
Your contribution extends beyond the spotlight of the 5-Concert Subscription Series or the enchanting melodies of the Holiday Concert. It reaches into the heart of the community through initiatives like the Encore Series, Music Chats with Wojciech, and the S.O. Podcasts, offering a diverse range of musical experiences that cater to all tastes and preferences.
The orchestra doesn't stop at the stage; it extends its reach through Educational Outreach and Initiatives. Your support helps us inspire the next generation of musicians, bringing music education to local schools and nurturing a love for the arts in young hearts. Best of all? Our educational programs are FREE to students, meaning any young artist can pursue their love of music.
The Concert in the Park and Outreach Concerts for Communities take the orchestra beyond conventional venues, creating accessible and inclusive musical experiences for everyone. The Summerville Orchestra isn't just about music, it's about how can music be woven into the strings of life in which we all walk on.
What makes the Summerville Orchestra truly special is its commitment to hometown flavor. Mixing traditional favorites with new, local, and engaging modern works, the orchestra becomes a living testament to the vibrant cultural tapestry of Summerville. Over 90% of our musicians are volunteers, creating a sense of community that spans from Manning to Seabrook Island, fostering connections and friendships among diverse individuals brought together by a shared love for music.
The impact of your support is not just measured in notes and applause. Last season, over 200,000 people experienced the magic of the orchestra, whether through attendance, hearing, or learning about our various programs. Concert performances ranged from intimate gatherings of 30 to grand events with over 2,000 guests, showcasing the orchestra's ability to cater to diverse audiences and venues.
Joining the Summerville Orchestra's Annual Gift Campaign a supporter is more than a donation; it's an investment in the cultural enrichment of Summerville. Last year, over 400 families recognized the value of this investment, and more than 40 area small businesses became Community Partners, creating a network of support that amplifies the orchestra's impact.
Your contribution goes beyond the notes on a page; it becomes a key part of the vibrant cultural tapestry that is Summerville. With your support, the Summerville Orchestra continues to compose a symphony of impact that resonates through the community, enriching lives and fostering a love for music that transcends generations.
