The Encore Society

Because the music never has to stop.

The Encore Society is a community of people who believe music should be here for everyone, all year long.

When you become an Encore Society member, your monthly gift helps make the Georgia Symphony Orchestra’s music, education, and community programs possible month after month.

Keep the music going.

A concert may last an evening.
The impact of music lasts much longer.

Your monthly support helps the GSO:

  • Welcome families to Sensory Friendly performances
  • Give young musicians opportunities to learn and grow through GYSO
  • Bring music into the community through GSO on the Go
  • Put instruments into the hands of children through Instrument Petting Zoos
  • Create unforgettable experiences on the concert stage

Your gift doesn’t just support a performance.

It helps make sure there is always a next performance, a next student, a next family, a next musical experience.

Small each month.

Meaningful all year.

There is no special amount required to belong to The Encore Society.
Choose the monthly gift that feels right for you.

$25/month
