INSPIRING GENERATIONS The Seattle Symphony keeps the ticket prices of our family concerts as low as possible so that more people can enjoy bringing their children to Benaroya Hall. This happens because of generous donations made by companies, foundations and individuals – people just like you. This is why we are asking you to consider becoming a donor, too. Each year that you make a donation with your subscription, you help cover the cost of what you see on stage and help make it possible for others to enjoy the experience as well. In return, you’ll get invited to special events, receive a heartfelt thank you note and even a tax deduction. The Seattle Symphony is a true gem that shines for us all — please consider making a donation with your subscription today.
