Austin Symphony Orchestra Endowment Fund
Sibley Encore Society

As of April 7, 2025

In recognition of the unparalleled dedication of Jane and D. J. Sibley, Jr., the Sibley Encore Society has been established. Their unwavering support of the Symphony has been crucial to its growth and increased excellence. Jane’s outstanding leadership as President of the Austin Symphony Orchestra Society from 1971 to 1996 has resulted in the orchestra’s strong community backing and national recognition for its performances and programs. The Sibley Encore Society recognizes those devoted friends of the Austin Symphony Orchestra who through their wills or other planned gifts help to perpetuate great music for future generations. The Austin Symphony Orchestra expresses its appreciation to those who have named the Symphony in their wills or established another form of planned gift. The Moto Perpetuo Society is a newly established club for loyal and generous donors who recognize the Austin Symphony Orchestra in their bequests or other long range charitable giving plans, at a level of $100,000 and above.
