Overview
The Berkeley Symphony Orchestra, an ensemble of both professional union and volunteer community musicians, performs a four-concert series at Zellerbach Hall on the U.C. Berkeley campus. The organization highlights contemporary and less familiar traditional symphonic literature, reaching an annual audience of more than 10,000 people, with a commitment to two new commissions per year. With a dynamic music director, the organization continues to provide innovative programming to the local community, as well as a Music in Schools program to every Berkeley public elementary school student. A renewal grant would provide support for the orchestra as it seeks to build new audiences and expand its educational offerings.

Grants to this Grantee
for general operating support
Each year, Berkeley Symphony Orchestra performs a four-concert series at Zellerbach Hall on the U.C. Berkeley campus, highlighting contemporary and less familiar traditional symphonic literature and reaching an audience of almost 6,500 people. With its first new music director in thirty years at the helm and a recently appointed executive director, the orchestra continues to provide innovative programming to the local community, as well as its Music in the Schools program to every Berkeley public elementary school student. Renewed support would enable this financially stable and artistically sound organization to continue to deliver quality orchestral music.
