The Marietta-based Georgia Symphony Orchestra has announced what it’s calling a “Give Back” initiative to award funding to music programs in metro Atlanta, specifically in local schools.
According to a GSO release, participating programs will receive 15 percent of all ticket sales associated with their organization through the 2022-23 season.
That season begins Saturday with a “Brass Splash” event. “Give Back” participants will receive their donations at the end of the season, when ticket sales are finalized.
“We want to partner with the community to invest in local schools,” Susan Stensland, the GSO’s interim co-executive director, said in the release. “This initiative perfectly aligns with our mission to enrich our community and to instill and fulfill a lifelong appreciation for the arts.”
The GSO’s 72nd season includes nine concerts and 14 performances, including matinees, and concerts also will include the GSO Chorus and the GSO Jazz ensembles.
