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.
