Support your Santa Fe Symphony!

IMPACTFUL GIVING

GRATEFUL.

Whether it’s a smile on a child’s face when they hear Tchaikovsky’s “Peter and the Wolf” for the first time, or the collective sigh of the audience as Rimsky-Korsakov’s spectacular “Scheherazade” draws to a close—we have been grateful for every moment this season.

INSPIRED.

Every time our musicians perform, we affirm our commitment to keeping live classical music alive in Santa Fe. As one of the largest musical employers in the State, your support allows us to continue presenting full-scale choral and orchestral concerts, continue sharing music with children and homebound seniors, and continue representing the very best of Santa Fe.

THE POWER OF MUSIC.

We are reminded every day of the stirring power of music. Live performance and shared experiences unite us. We are proud to play our part in the artistic landscape, forming connections between our local, New Mexico musicians and patrons of all ages.

Listed below are just a few of the many ways you can support The Santa Fe Symphony Orchestra & Chorus!
