Change Lives, One Note at a Time
Your donation will be matched to double your impact!*
Music has the power to change lives. And you have the power to make it happen.
Too many people in our community don’t have access to the life-changing power of live music. But with your support, you can make magic possible for thousands of people of all ages and backgrounds.
Through acclaimed performances at Roy Thomson Hall, youth programs to engage the next generation of musicians and music-lovers, and other inclusive community-based programs, your donation can change lives.
Together, we can Change Lives, One Note at a Time
Our community is made up of people from all walks of life. While some are physically and financially able to join us at Roy Thomson Hall, others may not have historically had access to orchestral music, nor seen themselves reflected in it.
You can support new and meaningful opportunities to engage with music for people who have limited access to arts and culture through programs like:
School Concerts
Performed for over 35,000 students annually, School Concerts expose students to the wonder and power of the symphony
Community Partnerships
By partnering with organizations that serve people across Toronto, the TSO is able to use music to promote healing, well-being, and connection across ages, abilities, and backgrounds
Young People’s Concerts
Young People’s Concerts are a fun, interactive and family-friendly way to introduce children to a lifelong love of music
TSOUND Connections
By providing engaging online performances to seniors in long-term-care and assisted-living homes, TSOUND Connections reduces the effects of social isolation
Toronto Symphony Youth Orchestra
The tuition-free TSYO program delivers a unique, powerful, and life-enriching opportunity for young musicians under 22 years’ old
Donor Benefits
In appreciation of your support, donations of $100 or more (or $10+ per month) are eligible for special donor benefits, including:
- Behind-the-scenes access to your orchestra at Donor Open Rehearsals

Your Donation Matters
Did you know that almost half of the funding for all of the TSO’s programs, from our performances to our community outreach, comes from donors?
That’s why long-standing TSO supporters Bob and Francine Barrett have generously offered to match your donation, and all donations made this spring, up to a total of $250,000!
PLAY YOUR PART
“We have been TSO patrons and donors for over 30 years. This season it’s been thrilling to mark a century of exceptional music alongside other passionate supporters. It’s so meaningful to know we are part of a long history of philanthropy that has made the TSO one of the world’s finest orchestras and a gem in the Toronto arts community. We hope this matching-gift opportunity inspires you to join us by making your donation to kick off the next 100 years with our orchestra.”
—Bob and Francine Barrett
