The Austin Symphony Orchestra Society invites you to join our family of supporters. The following categories of gifts to the ASO Annual Fund Drive reflect a cross section of our community. These donors are a special group of music lovers who know that the ASO is to be commended for its prudent financial management as well as for the outstanding performances offered but, also, that ticket sales cover less than one-half the cost of these performances. Your gift generously supports the gift of music to others. Join this special family now: Call (512) 476-6064.
