Give the Gift of Music

Support The Oratorio Society of Virginia

As a nonprofit organization, we depend on the support of our community to continue our work.  By supporting The Oratorio Society, you ensure that we can deliver high-quality choral performances and offer a lasting contribution to our community’s cultural landscape.

Ticket sales cover roughly one third of The Oratorio Society’s production expenses.  Whether by contributing individually, sponsoring a concert, or through gifts of stock, there are many ways in which you can help us to enrich the lives of our community through the transformative power of choral music.

Additional Ways to Support The Oratorio Society of Virginia

 

Individual Gifts

With ticket sales covering only a portion of our expenses, individual gifts make up the backbone of support for our work.  Supporters of The Oratorio Society are recognized in our concert programs, and may choose to dedicate their gift in one of many ways:

  • Acknowledgment: to mark a special occasion

  • Honorarium: to honor a special individual

  • Thank you: to show gratitude

  • In Memoriam: to honor the life of a departed loved one

We appreciate gifts of any and all amounts.  Your support is what enables us to make the joy of choral music available to everyone in our community.
