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 $40 for individual membership and $50 for couples is all it takes to get started! Membership runs from June 1, 2022 to May 31, 2023.

To share your special talent and engage with others with a passion for quality music, contact the office at 941-207-8822 or email the Friends at friends@thevenicesymphony.org  or to join, click on the application at the bottom of this page.
