Crescendo Society - Tucson Symphony Orchestra

Come Closer to the Music with the Crescendo Society!

Launched in 2019, 42 founding members joined together in supporting the TSO’s vision under the inspired artistic leadership of Maestro José Luis Gomez, by making a vital three-year financial commitment.

The last three years could not have provided a more effective example of how the impact of this generous multi-year support has been critical to the TSO’s artistic and financial health.

As a direct result of Crescendo Society commitments, the TSO:

Successfully navigated the early days of the pandemic before federal grants became available, and launched an impressive 2020-21 digital season of online performances and interviews viewed by more than 40,000 audience members across 57 countries.
Resumed its nationally renowned education programs and a complete season of classical performances in 2021-22.
Returned to a full schedule of live, on-stage performances in 2022-23.
Introduced ¡Celebración latina!, a programming initiative to perform music reflective of our vibrant community.

Please consider joining us in bringing the joy of music to new generations of Southern Arizonans and securing the TSO’s long-term future. Thank you.
