Encore Society
Encore Society Members | Endowment Recognition
The community leaders who joined together in 1954 to create the Fresno Philharmonic had a vision for the future. That vision was to present great music that enriches lives, inspire passion for classical music, connect audiences to history, preserve tradition, and celebrate creative tradition.
As standard bearers for that vision, we believe that hearing great music from the past and present is a legacy worth preserving for future generations, and that the Fresno Philharmonic itself, is a beacon for community pride, achievement and advancement.
To support the vision and preserve the status of the Fresno Philharmonic as the Valley’s cultural flagship, we rely on the many generous individuals who support our Annual Fund, but in particular on those Circle of 25 members who contribute $5,000 or more annually, and those members of our Encore Society, who with their legacy gifts to the endowment provide funding for the Philharmonic in perpetuity.
By making a bequest to the Philharmonic, you are eligible to join the Encore Society. Please notify Karin Chao-Bushoven, Development Director at 559-261-0611, ext. 614 or send an email to kcbushoven@fresnophil.org regarding your intention so that you may be recognized.
