“I see the WSO becoming the orchestra of WY, not only a central part of Casper but a central part of the state of Wyoming.”
-Christopher Dragon,
Music Director
For more than 70 years, the Wyoming Symphony Orchestra has been entertaining audiences from venues large and small - from concert halls to classrooms across Wyoming. None of this would be possible without the unprecedented support from people like you.
The gifts we receive from individuals, corporate sponsors and foundation grants give us the resources to continue our work for the people of Wyoming - and for that we thank you.
ANNUAL GIVING
Annual gifts from individual donors is what sustains the WSO each year. Donations, both large and small, allow for:
-
World Renowned Guest Performances
-
Community Enrichment through Music on the Move
-
Community Partnerships
-
Artist Development
-
Planning for the Future
Please consider a gift today in support of the Wyoming Symphony Orchestra. Annual gifts can be made in a single payment or split out into monthly gifts that sustain the organization for the future.
ADOPT A MUSICIAN
The Wyoming Symphony Orchestra has one of the finest orchestra in the region with almost 70 musicians who come to Casper to perform. This incredible group of talented artists is carefully selected through an audition process. Their time is not donated - and we feed and house those that travel to Casper.
What better way to participate in our 2020-2021 season than to ensure that every musician feels the love from our patrons this season. Adoption includes your name or company name in the season program.
Music Director Christopher Dragon: $2,500
Concert Master Becky Mothersbaugh: $550
Principal Musician: $275
Orchestra Musician: $125
