Why I Give

Becoming Partners with a Player donors seems like the culmination of our increased involvement with the Symphony. It has given us great pleasure, satisfaction, and a common sense of purpose with the Symphony, its players, and staff.  There is also a great sense of pride in being a part of an organization that provides so much enjoyment, education, and outreach to the larger San Diego community.

Ron and Val Ontell

Getting to know our musicians through the Partner with a Player program is both humbling and awe-inspiring! Sitting on stage with our partner during the annual Partner with a Player concert is an absolutely unique and unforgettable experience.

Bill and Sue Weber

Being a Partner with a Player of the San Diego Symphony has been an extremely rewarding journey—seeing my partner excel as a musician and knowing that I took part of that is both comforting and nourishing for the soul. As a Partner, you see music through the eyes of your musician. What better way to develop a connection and relationship to music and the community than through this program!
