MATCHING CHALLENGE

Donate to The Venice Symphony today and your gift will be DOUBLED during the Funding our Future $150,000 Matching Gift Challenge. Two anonymous patrons have joined together to invest in The Venice Symphony and will match your donation.  There is no more important time to donate to The Venice Symphony. We are facing the greatest loss of revenue and challenges in our 47-year history but remain true to our mission.

While we postponed our 2020-21 concert season at the Venice Performing Arts Center to 2021-22, The Venice Symphony, with support from Gulfcoast Community Foundation and our advertisers, is offering a four-concert virtual series that is free for everyone.

And, while our Symphony in the Schools program is on hold due to the COVID-19 crisis, our dedicated Venice Symphony Youth Orchestra continues to rehearse outdoors with social distancing and masks and hopes to perform for the community soon.

Your gift will be MATCHED dollar-for-dollar.

Thank you.
