Help Us Amaze


Each year, Overture offers more than twice as many free and low-cost performances and events than ticketed, mainstage performances. Overture’s community and educational programs cost over $1 million each year. We think it’s well worth the price to reach nearly 200,000 children, older adults, local artists, people with lower incomes and other area residents each season.


These free and low-cost programs are key to opening the doors to the creative, cultural and personal benefits of the arts for people who might otherwise be left out. Now, more than ever, we rely on your voice, your ideas and your contributions to keep the arts alive and thriving.
