Support the Newark Symphony Orchestra

A large portion (±40%) of NSO funding is donated by individual members of our community. Your generosity enables the NSO to keep performances economically accessible, and in particular, accessible to the youths in our community. Our annual Betsy L Kent Concerto Competition provides opportunities for aspiring young musicians in our communities to perform with a full orchestra in front of a large audience and be appreciated by our patrons for their beautiful music.

The NSO is a symphony orchestra supported by our patrons. Consider supporting us through attendance or by donating here.

“A hidden gem and a great way to introduce our kids to live orchestra music”
