Share-A-Seat
There’s a seat for everyone at the Rockford Symphony Orchestra!
Share-A-Seat provides free RSO tickets to individuals and families who are served under human service nonprofit organizations in our community.
The RSO created the Share-A-Seat program to provide enriching musical experiences to those who would be unable to attend a performance otherwise. This program is funded through donations and allows anyone who receives services from a local human services organization to attend performances for free!
Supporters can donate tickets to the Share-A-Seat program for just $35 each. This tax deductible contribution enables the RSO to make free tickets available to these individuals. Consider making a Share-A-Seat gift in honor of a friend or family member this season! You will be mailed a certificate commemorating your gift, which you can present to your honoree.
Are you connected with a nonprofit serving individuals who would appreciate attending the RSO? Help connect us to them!
The Impact of the Share-A-Seat Program - Quotes from Share-A-Seat participants from Rosecrance:
“Thank you for sharing an experience worthwhile. I really enjoyed something that was as unique as your performance. It was truly an experience of a lifetime. You showed me something new. I look forward for the opportunity to see more. I had a beautiful and wonderful time. Thanks for having us, I really appreciate it. It is something I will never forget.”
“What an eye opening and musically enhancing experience... I believe including the arts in my recovery is proactive and liberating. It is my intention to get to the theater as much as time will allow. Thank you again for your generosity and philanthropic spirit by helping those of us with life struggles.”
“The music was not only beautiful but so calming also...I wish to thank those who were instrumental in providing us tickets to the show. I appreciate it very much! We all did.”
