Help Others Experience the HSO
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.
