Honor Roll: Current Season Donors
Honor Roll: 2026/27 Season Donors
Thank you to our Family of Supporters!
At the heart of the Santa Barbara Symphony’s mission lies our goal to be an indispensable partner to our community, providing enrichment through inspiring concerts, music education programs, and access for everyone.
Under normal circumstances, ticket sales and other earned income cover less than 35% of our total operating budget. Now, more than ever, the Santa Barbara Symphony relies on the generosity of contributors to continue our artistic excellence, educational programs and much more.
And we love saying thank you; please visit our donor benefits page to see the ways we acknowledge our supporters.
