Annual Fund

Lexington Symphony's Annual Fund supports operating expenses and artistic excellence. Symphony donors enjoy a variety of opportunities to engage with like-minded music lovers and enjoy exclusive benefits.

The Annual Fund, one of the most popular ways to support the Symphony. It covers organizational costs that cannot be met by ticket revenue alone. This includes everything from musicians’ salaries and guest artists’ fees to renting the concert hall, office, and utility bills. Ticket sales cover only 35% of our operating costs. Additional support from you—our subscribers, concert-goers, community members, foundations, and business partners—makes up the difference. Your unrestricted gift allows us to direct funds to areas most needed. Donations are welcome during our two bi-annual appeals or any time online or by mail (address below) throughout the year.
