Conductor’s Circle

Your Conductor’s Circle donation is integral to maintaining the excellence of the Victoria Symphony. From our dynamic music director, Maestra Tania Miller, to our innovative programming and educational and outreach programs, your gift supports the Symphony in many ways. Your Conductor’s Circle recognition also includes enhanced concert experiences and all the benefits of a Victoria Symphony Friend.

Over 140 individuals have joined the Victoria Symphony’s Conductor’s Circle by making gifts of $1,000 or more. These gifts enable the Symphony to perform over 100 concerts each season for 125,000 people, including 10,000 schoolchildren. The Victoria Symphony has a goal of 300 Conductor’s Circle members, needed to help stabilize funding.

Conductor’s Circle members receive significant recognition and benefits:

• A charitable tax receipt
• Donor recognition in concert programs
