Help Us Meet a Critical $35,000 Year-End Challenge!
For 35 seasons, the Kentucky Symphony Orchestra has brought our community together through the power of live music. From free outdoor concerts and engaging educational programs to innovative performances throughout the year, the KSO creates opportunities for people of all ages to experience, enjoy, and discover the joy of music.
These are more than concerts. They are shared experiences, lasting memories, and traditions that connect generations.
In honor of the Kentucky Symphony Orchestra's 35th Season, Paula M. Steiner has generously established a $35,000 challenge gift to inspire greater support for the KSO and its mission.
This special opportunity means your generosity can go even further!
Make Your Recurring Gift Go THREE Times as Far!
When you make a recurring gift—monthly, quarterly or annually—your contribution will be triple matched!
Consider the impact of a monthly gift of just $20:
- You contribute $240 over the course of a year.
- The challenge provides an additional $480 in matching funds.
- The KSO receives $720!
That's three times the impact of your generosity. It's an easy, affordable way to make a lasting commitment to the KSO while helping ensure that live music and music education continue to enrich our community.
Give regularly. Multiply your impact. Keep the music playing!
Your Gift Can Make an Immediate Difference
The challenge also provides a wonderful opportunity for new donors and those renewing or increasing their support.
- New gifts from individuals, family foundations, and corporations qualify for a dollar-for-dollar match.
- Increased support from lapsed and past donors whose last contribution was before December 31, 2024, also qualifies for a dollar-for-dollar match.
Whether you are discovering the KSO for the first time, returning as a supporter, or increasing your annual contribution, your generosity helps us reach more people through music.
Why the KSO Matters
Our audiences tell us what the KSO means to them:
"Accessible art and entertainment builds strong communities." — Zoe C.
"With all the divisiveness and separation, music brings us together." — Lisa M.
"We want, and our community needs, the KSO to enrich our lives." — Chad M.
The impact extends throughout our region:
- Students and teachers experience high-quality, engaging music education that might otherwise be unavailable to them.
- Families and neighbors gather for free outdoor concerts that make live orchestral music accessible to everyone.
- Concert audiences enjoy innovative programming, exceptional guest artists, and musical experiences that enrich the cultural life of Northern Kentucky and Greater Cincinnati.
Your Support Makes It All Possible
For 35 seasons, the Kentucky Symphony Orchestra has continued to find new ways to bring music to our community. With your help, we can build on that legacy, inspire future generations, and ensure that these experiences remain accessible for years to come.
No gift is too small. Every contribution makes a difference. And during this special challenge, your generosity can have an extraordinary impact.
Please join us in celebrating 35 seasons of music and help us meet the $35,000 Year-End Challenge!
Thank you for keeping the music playing.
