Annual Fund & Heritage Society

As a not-for-profit IRS Section 501(c)(3) organization, the Akron Symphony Orchestra is committed to providing high quality, accessible orchestral experiences to Akron audiences. Because ticket revenue does not cover all our operating costs, the ASO depends on unrestricted Annual Fund contributions to help close the gap between the income generated by ticket sales and the true cost of presenting a wide array of concerts and educational programs.
