Below is a list of fantastic music that the ASO can’t wait to perform. But first, we need your generous support to make it happen.
Why your support matters: At the ASO, we are dedicated to performing music that honors our diverse heritages, celebrates our contemporary artistic environment, and forges a cultural legacy for the future. To achieve this, we often choose pieces outside the public domain, requiring us to purchase new music or secure performance rights. Additionally, some large pieces may involve engaging soloists, additional musicians, or other special requirements, all of which contribute to the cost.
Is there a piece close to your heart that you’d like to see us perform? If it’s not on our list, we welcome your suggestions and sponsorship. Please reach out to our conductor at Conductor@AuroraSymphony.org to discuss how you can help bring your favorite music to our stage.
