QSO performs at various Queens locations, including our Masterworks Concert Series at Queensborough Performing Arts Center, Young People’s Concerts at Kupferberg Center, Young Soloist Competition at Taiwan Cultural Center, Chamber Music Series and Music Lectures throughout the borough, and free Concerts on the Green at locations including St. John’s University and Forest Park. In this way, Queens Symphony Orchestra is able to reach out to over 30,000 residents each season, including 8,000 youth. This borough-wide exposure presents a unique opportunity for corporate and foundation giving. You can choose to offer general support, sponsor an entire series or event or support a portion of your selected concert, program, or initiative. Your tax deductible support will help QSO remain a vital part of Queens culture and educational outreach.
