Encore Society: Endowment gifts of $5,000 or more entitle the donor to a lifetime membership in the Encore Society. Members of the Encore Society are recognized in the program book and are invited to exclusive annual function. Named Endowments: The Symphony currently has several naming opportunities available for donors wishing to endow an orchestra chair or fund for a fixed term or in perpetuity..
