Back in Beethoven’s or Mozart’s day, kings, archdukes, and other royalty supported great music. Although the nature of patronage has changed—entrepreneurs are the new aristocrats, corporations replace counts—private support sustains the performing arts more than ever before.

This is your chance to give the Symphony your royal support! Please help keep the music alive with your tax-deductible donation* at the levels of giving suggested below. Your donation, regardless of size, enables the Santa Fe Symphony Orchestra & Chorus to bring you the quality programming you enjoy. Contribute today by calling the Symphony at (505) 983-3530 and using your credit card or mail your donation to the Santa Fe Symphony Orchestra & Chorus, P.O. Box 9692, Santa Fe, NM 87504.
