Each season, the HSO seeks contributions from all segments of our community - individual, corporate, foundation and government sources. In order to keep ticket prices affordable and provide music education opportunities, approximately one-half of the operating budget of the HSO comes from the generosity of organizations and individuals in our community. Our special thanks to the HSO Guild for their annual contribution of more than $275,000, and the City of Huntsville and Madison County for their support of the Symphony's educational and youth programs. The HSO's activities are made possible in part by funding from the Alabama State Council on the Arts and the National Endowment for the Arts.
