Message
from the President
Comprised of 140 energetic men and
women, the Maryland Symphony Orchestra Guild is a volunteer organization
which helps to promote and support the Maryland Symphony Orchestra.
The Guild helps volunteers make a difference to the success of
the orchestra by organizing their efforts, training them, sharing
their ideas, answering their questions, and supporting them.
Along the way, friendships are made that last a life time.
Volunteering
is the perfect vehicle to discover something you do well and
develop that into a new skill. Mahatma Gandhi said, "Live
as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live
forever." It's never too late to learn new skills and no
reason why you should stop adding to your knowledge because you
have "finished" your formal education. Finding new
interests through volunteering can be fun, relaxing, and energizing.
As an MSO volunteer you have an opportunity to work and learn
in a variety of behind the scenes environments. We collect tickets
and give out programs at the concerts. We provide "munchies" for
musicians, support for the MSO staff, educational programs for
students and adults, engage in subscription promotion, and of
course we raise funds. The Guild's largest fund-raising project
has traditionally been its Symphony Ball and Auction held annually
in November.
