The Friends of The Venice Symphony is a dedicated group of volunteers who act as community ambassadors and support and promote the Venice Symphony in many ways. Friends’ members organize fundraising events, enjoy socials, volunteer in the office and at concerts and provide support that enhances the Symphony’s mission. An annual Friends contribution of $50 for individual membership and $75 for a household is all it takes to get started! Membership runs from June 1, 2023 to May 31, 2024 and the easiest way to join or renew is on your 2023-24 season ticket order form or fill out this form
