APPLAUSE  
We invite you to join Applause, our new support group with a mission of providing needed financial resources to help us continue our commitment to bringing the finest musical and music-education experiences to our community. Ticket sales account for only one-third of what it costs to perform our Symphony Classics and Orchestra POPS! concerts and to produce our world-class children’s education programs. By joining Applause, you’ll meet a crucial need and receive special opportunities to go behind the scenes and see how the orchestra works. Call the Orchestra development office at 562.436.3203, ext. 227, for more information about the different levels and benefits of Applause membership.
