Time to Adopt!

ADOPT-A-MUSICIAN

Our musicians are the core of this organization—the ones who bring music to life. Rather than furloughing them during this difficult time, we have immersed them in planning, programming, and leadership, resulting in an exciting season that keeps local artists on our payroll. However, we need YOUR help to continue supporting our musicians—and what better way to help than by adopting through our Adopt-A-Musician program! Please consider adopting an available musician for yourself or a loved one as a holiday gift!

Click here to view our musicians and those available for adoption!

When you adopt a musician you honor our individual musicians’ exceptional dedication and effort while helping to sustain high standards of professional support for our tenured musicians members. You will be introduced to your adopted musician and invited to attend an orchestra dress rehearsal. Sponsors of principal musicians may sit within the instrument section—as close as possible to their musician.Your participation includes the opportunity to be photographed with your adopted musician(s). For one year following the date of your adoption, your photo will appear in The Symphony Program Book on the Adopt-A-Musician page. An acknowledgement of your participation will also appear on the Contributors’ pages in the Program Book. Some benefits are temporarily unavailable due to New Mexico CDC COVID-19 restrictions.
