FRIENDS OF THE SYMPHONY: The Fifth Section

Every orchestra has four sections: Strings, Woodwinds, Brass, Percussion.

LSO has a fifth section. Our audience, our supporters, our volunteers: our community.

Together, they are The Fifth Section - together, we are the LSO.

Our Fifth Section includes two groups of proud supporters: the Giving Circle, whose generosity sustains the orchestra, and the Volunteer Corps, who contribute their time and talents. Your path as a supporter may be through one or both.

The Giving Circle

Donate Directly through our Website

The Lawrenceville Symphony Orchestra is powered almost entirely by the generosity of our community. With your support, we bring world-class music, culture, and connection to downtown Lawrenceville and beyond. Every contribution, no matter the size, truly makes a difference.
