The Guild

The Livermore-Amador Symphony Guild, the highly dedicated support group and fund-raising branch of the symphony, has been a (large, active!) auxiliary of the Symphony Association since 1963. Its purpose is to stimulate interest in the Livermore-Amador Symphony and to provide financial support. Membership is open to all who share this goal.

The Guild meets four times a year (and its board meets about ten times a year); each meeting includes music and food in addition to a short business meeting. The first meeting of the 2011–2012 season was a Prelude Party on September 15, 2011; the Winter Meeting was on the evening of January 19, 2012; the next meetings will be on April 19 and May 17.

The Guild's activities are varied; for example, the Guild handles the annual season-ticket campaign of the Symphony, presents pops concerts, publishes a newsletter five times a year (before the pops concert at the beginning of the season and before each of the four formal Symphony concerts), organizes estate sales, and provides refreshments at the Association's annual general meeting and at post-concert receptions.

Join the Guild!
