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 believe, ticket sales cover less than 10 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.

As an added incentive, you will acknowledged in all concert programs and publicity materials including news releases that are regularly distributed to media in the tri-county area.
