Friends of the Symphony
A Social and Volunteer Organization
Our Mission
Friends of the Symphony is a volunteer organization that supports the ongoing vitality and positive impact of the La Porte County Symphony Orchestra through volunteer engagement, public awareness, and financial support.
Members of Friends of the Symphony gather four times each year for a luncheon featuring exciting guest speakers, musical performances, and interesting topics. They engage with the Symphony by volunteering at concerts and other events, as well as advocating for the arts in the community. Each year the Friends of the Symphony hosts a table at the La Porte Sunflower Fair, where they sell gently used purses and jewelry, with all proceeds benefiting the Symphony.
Join Us
Membership is open to the community and dues are $20 per person, payable in September. Please call the LCSO office at 219.362.9020 for more information.
