We offer sincere thanks to those who made a gift to the University Symphony Orchestra Endowment as part of the Opus 50 Fundraising Campaign. Together, we surpassed our goal of growing the endowment to $500,000. As of May 15, we have raised over $215,000 to support the USO!
Because of your generosity, the USO will continue to work with renowned guest performers, acquire new lesser-known symphonic scores, and maintain essential operations. We thank the more than 175 donors whose support has made this possible. Your commitment to the USO will ensure the continued excellence of the USO for generations to come.
