The Syracuse Symphony Orchestra (SSO) is on a journey to create a new vision for the future that focuses on serving our community. While we have made progress, our community must be at the center of everything we do. Therefore, community participation in our process is invaluable.

We invite residents to complete our online survey that can be found at www.syracusesymphony.org. The survey is brief, but the input is of enormous importance to the SSO, which seeks to support and reflect the priorities of our community in our vision.

We are thankful to the citizens of Central New York for their support of the SSO and the future of the region, and we are grateful to the Gifford Foundation for supporting this important work.
