The purpose of the Dallas Symphony Orchestra League, Junior
Group and Innovators is to promote the interest and growth
of the Dallas Symphony Orchestra through fundraising and service
projects by offering a variety of community, educational and
social programs. Our volunteers make this possible through
contributions, time, talent and resources. The Dallas Symphony
Guild is an organization of business and professional leaders
who, like the League, appreciate fine music and have a desire
to see the DSO grow and prosper as a cultural and civic force.
The groups are structured to age and lifestyle.
Symphony enthusiasts are becoming members of the Association
by joining one or more of the four auxiliary groups: the Dallas
Symphony Orchestra League (DSOL), the Junior Group of the
DSOL, The Innovators of the DSOL, and the Dallas Symphony
Orchestra Guild. Membership is open throughout the year and
orientation for new members takes place every September. Groups
are structured according to age and lifestyles, and two of
the four groups are coed. The Association presently has more
than 1,600 volunteers.
Each of the volunteer areas has its own fundraising projects,
educational and musical meetings as well as service projects
within the community. In addition, various social functions
are planned throughout the year so that members are able to
enjoy themselves while benefiting the Dallas Symphony Orchestra.
Volunteers are called upon to assist staff with such projects
as the Season Ticket Campaign (March of each year) and the
Sustaining Fund Drive including the Stradivarius and Encore
Patron Programs. Other activities include ushering thousands
of students into the Meyerson Symphony Center for Youth concerts,
chauffeuring guest artists and conductors, tours for the visually
impaired through "Access Dallas Symphony", serving as docents
for the Meyerson Symphony Center tours, participating in the
Music & Merit Program, sponsoring the Friedlander Competition
for Young Strings plus continually receiving high marks for
raising hundreds of thousands of dollars for operations and
endowment each season. The Dallas Symphony Orchestra greatly
appreciates the volunteer groups and their services.
The
League, Junior Group and Innovators endowed the Musicians
Lounge in the Meyerson Center, the Principal Keyboard Chair
and one annual performance in the Classical Series by a keyboard
soloist in the Classical Series, were underwriters for the
1997 and 2000 DSOs European Tours and the Dallas Symphonys
Centennial Season.
The
American Symphony Orchestra League has recognized four of
the League's projects and has awarded the Dallas Symphony
Orchestra Volunteers for exemplary work in Season Tickets,
Youth Educational Services, a Grand Opening event and the
Presentation Ball. For more information about membership in
any of the volunteer arms, call the Volunteer Department of
the Dallas Symphony Association at (214) 871-4004.
