Friends of the CSO



In recognition and appreciation of the CSO and to secure its future, you can make a very special gift to the Endowed Chairs Program. Your gift will be invested by the CSO with other endowment contributions. A percentage of the fund will support Symphony operations.

•    

You may name a chair for a family member, an admired person, an organization or to memorialize a friend or loved one. The name you wish to honor, whether your own or someone else's, will be assigned to the chair and listed in our concert program books.

A chair may be endowed in perpetuity or for a term of 5 or 10 years in accordance with your wishes.
Endowed chairs represent a popular approach to building the CSO endowment fund because gifts are recognized for a specific length of time.
The total amount of a gift may be conveyed to the CSO outright or in installments for a period of one to 5 years. A contribution may be made in cash or securities.
