Donations & Sponsorships

Our Purpose:

The primary purpose of the Tehachapi Symphony Orchestra is to facilitate the presentation of classical music to the community. The Symphony also strives to:

• Foster civic culture and educational interest in music by presenting concerts to the community. 

• Ensure that the entire community, regardless of income level, has access to classical music performances by providing concerts for free (with voluntary donations accepted at the door). 

• Provide a forum for community musicians to hone their skills and perform for the public. 

• Encourage and recognize the musical youth of the community and present young artists to the public.  

​

Orchestra members donate their own time to rehearse and perform for the community. It takes a substantial amount of money to present these free concerts. The orchestra's budget is about $40,000 per season. Our budget goes toward paying our conductor, hiring first-class soloists, filling vacant instrumental chairs, obtaining sheet music, and renting rehearsal and performance sites.
