Austin Symphony Orchestra Endowment Fund
Austin Symphony Orchestra
Sibley Encore Society

As of August 31, 2026

Established in honor of Jane and D. J. Sibley, Jr., the Sibley Encore Society celebrates their extraordinary commitment to the Austin Symphony Orchestra. During her distinguished tenure as President of the Austin Symphony Orchestra Society (1971–1996), Jane Sibley’s leadership fostered national acclaim and lasting local support. The Society honors those who share this enduring spirit by including the Symphony in their estate plans or through other forms of planned giving, ensuring that great music continues to enrich future generations. The Moto Perpetuo Society further recognizes those whose legacy gifts exceed $100,000, sustaining the Symphony’s mission for years to come.
