Drumroll Please…

We believe in the magic of music—and we know you do too. That’s why we’re inviting you to be part of something unforgettable.

With your gift to the San Luis Obispo Symphony during our Drumroll Please summer campaign, you’re not just supporting live, local music. You’re keeping it alive. You’re making sure the next standing ovation, the next unforgettable crescendo, the next young musician’s dream all have a stage to stand on.

And here’s our encore for you:
When you donate a gift of $1000 or more between June 20 – August 22, 2025, we’ll celebrate YOU with a personal shoutout on our social media channels and in follow-up emails to inspire others to join the movement.
