March is "Music in Our Schools Month", making it the perfect time to amplify the Charleston Symphony's educational impact through a $100,000 matching gift challenge. From the legendary Carnegie Hall stage to the Gaillard Center, Lowcountry classrooms, and beyond, every dollar you give doubles our reach—bringing the power of music to more students than ever before. Join us in unlocking this transformational challenge by the end of March!
At the CSO, we are on a mission to excite, engage, and educate young people with music at every stage. We partner with 50 schools annually to bring symphony musicians to the classrooms of nearly 10,000 students, host 3,000 area students for Young People's Concerts in collaboration with Carnegie Hall's Link Up curriculum, operate two Youth Orchestra programs for young musicians of the Lowcountry, and work with seven graduate or post-graduate fellows through our nationally-recognized Inclusion Fellowship program. To learn even more about our education programs, please visit https://charlestonsymphony.org/overview/.
This tremendous investment and inspiring challenge to our community is generously supported by Anne and Will Cleveland, Anne and Jon Olson, The Speedwell Foundation & Michael and Jenny Messner, and First Citizens Bank. For more information on how to support, please reach out to Simms Oliphant, Director of Institutional Advancement, at soliphant@charlestonsymphony.org or 843-723-7528.
