Giving Tuesday

Today, we come together to extend our deepest gratitude and to invite you to join us in making a difference on this Giving Tuesday.

For 105 years, our musicians have poured their hearts into every note, ensuring that each performance is a testament to the power of music. We believe in The Power of Music – a language that unites us without words. Your continued support makes it possible for our musicians to aim for excellence, creating moments that resonate and uplift spirits in our community.

An anonymous music lover has stepped forward with extraordinary generosity. They have pledged to match the first $10,000 in donations received by the VSO today, providing us with an incredible $20,000 start. Your contribution to the VSO on Giving Tuesday helps us continue our mission and ensures that the VSO remains at the centre of artistic distinction.

Let us share a recent example of the impact your support creates. Earlier this month, we hosted ten thousand local elementary school students to experience “Life Emerging – Antarctica,” a composition by VSO Associate Principal Trumpet and acclaimed composer, Marcus Goddard. This powerful piece explores the climate crisis, providing a deep and emotional understanding through the Power of Music.

This is just one instance of how the artistic excellence of our musicians impacts our community. Together, we can ensure that the VSO continues to enrich lives.

Your generosity speaks volumes, and today, your gift will have double the impact thanks to our anonymous donor.

Embrace the power of music with us this Giving Tuesday and make a difference in the lives of those around you. Your support helps us create meaningful experiences and share the joy of music with our community.

Please consider donating today, and let’s create a symphony of lasting impact together. Your generosity is deeply appreciated.

Thank you for being part of our musical family.

Warm regards,

PS: If you start a recurring monthly gift today, each donation will be matched for the first 12 months of your generosity.
