The mission of the Dayton Philharmonic Orchestra (DPO) embodies the essence of what the Orchestra has continually provided to the Dayton community for seventy-five seasons. To enliven the spirit, inspire the imagination, cultivate the musical appreciation and serve the education and entertainment needs of the greater Dayton and surrounding communities. This season will be no different.

Your gift today to the Crescendo Campaign annual fund will help bridge the gap between funds brought in through ticket sales, approximately 35%, and cost of providing exemplary Philharmonic performances and programs to our community. We rely on generous support from dedicated individuals, corporations, foundations, Culture Works and government grants to continue to meet our mission. Every dollar makes a difference in helping to fulfill the mission of the Orchestra.

You know that the DPO brings the most world renowned classical and pops artists to the Mead stage each season. But did you know that the Philharmonic provides the largest orchestra music education programs for children in the nation? Or that the DPO has received its eighth ASCAP award for adventurous programming of contemporary music? How about the fact that the DPO education programs reach over 93,000 children in 15 counties? And most importantly, do you know that the DPO could not accomplish any of this and much more without your support? A strong annual fund is crucial to the success of the Dayton Philharmonic Orchestra and the arts in our community.

Make a gift today to the Dayton Philharmonic Orchestra and play a part in bringing music, art and education to your community.
