Anonymous Donor Provides "Matching Funds" Donation Opportunity
In
recognition of The Jefferson Symphony Orchestra being recently named
the "Best Community Orchestra 2011" in the greater area by Westword
magazine, an anonymous donor has presented The Jefferson Symphony
Association with a very generous "matching funds" donation
opportunity...
As soon as The Jefferson Symphony
Association accumulates contributions and donations in the amount of
$10,000, our anonymous donor will match these funds.
An account was established at the US Bank in Golden, CO on April 18,
2011 in the name of The Jefferson Symphony Orchestra Tribute Fund.
Nearly $1,500.00 has been pledged or contributed to the fund in less
than one week.
The Jefferson Symphony Orchestra is performing in its 58th year in the
greater Jefferson County and Denver area. The entire operation of the
orchestra is sustained by, and relies upon, donations from friends
within our community – both individual and corporate.
We are asking for your financial assistance and contribution to
continue the high quality, cultural experience provided by The
Jefferson Symphony Orchestra within our community.
We thank you profoundly for your support.
Thanks for visiting the Jefferson Symphony Orchestra’s “virtual home!” We are a community music organization based in Golden, Colorado, offering several concerts each year by our various musical ensembles.
Beginning our second half-century the Jefferson Symphony Association is a committed group of ninety-five talented musicians and more than a hundred dedicated volunteers keeping the excitement of music alive.
The orchestra performs five classical concerts in the winter season, all held on Sunday afternoons, 3 PM, at the Green Center at the Colorado School of Mines in Golden. Two–three free Pops Concerts are performed in Jefferson County parks during the summer months.
The Jefferson Symphony Orchestra sponsors an annual International Young Artists Competition to recognize outstanding young talent in North America. The first-prize winner performs with the orchestra in the March concert.
A 15-member Board of Directors oversees symphony operations, providing assistance and support in management, publicity, and raising funds for an annual budget of over $175,000. Each concert requires approximately 1,500 hours of labor, most of which is provided by volunteers.
