FRIENDS OF THE SYMPHONY

Friends of the Symphony

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 $35 for individual membership and $45 for couples is all it takes to get started! Membership runs until May 31, 2021.
