The Macomb Symphony Orchestra was Founded in 1974. The MSO, and Music Director Andrew Neer, are proud to bring you a diverse variety of subscription concerts, youth & educational performances, festive summer events and chamber music ensembles from its home, the Macomb Center for the Performing Arts in Clinton Township, Michigan. We invite you to celebrate our 45th anniversary with us and encourage your continued support through the purchase of season tickets, membership in the Friends of the Macomb Symphony, corporate sponsorships and private donations.
Part of the rich tradition of the Macomb Symphony Orchestra is the warm, enthusiastic and supportive connection it has always nurtured with the community. The applause filling The Macomb Center is one measure of the strength and commitment of our audiences and the generous financial support of our corporate friends is another. The MSO has always relied on the support of music lovers. The MSO is not unlike any other orchestra in the sense that most of their sponsorship comes from individual and corporate giving. Despite popular belief, ticket sales cover less than 5 percent of the operational expenses of the orchestra. The gracious generosity of patrons makes all of this possible. We hope you will take a moment to review the many options you have in supporting the Orchestra and in helping us keep the spirit of great music alive in Macomb County.
Building your legacy in the community
Individual & family donations support the Orchestra by sponsoring events. As an added incentive, you will be acknowledged in all concert programs and publicity materials including news releases that are regularly distributed to media in the tri-county area. The visibility gained by your sponsorship illustrates your support of the arts in this community. Your gifts and sponsorship give the MSO the opportunity to expand its commitment to children and young adults by providing ongoing concert programs designed for students. While all gifts are graciously received and acknowledged several levels of support are available. A gift of any of the sizes mentioned below is automatically added into the Founder’s Society.
