Give Me One Good Reason Why I Should Be An ISO Donor

Okay. Here are 6:

What's good for Sarnia-Port Huron is good for business

Take a closer look into every first-class community and you will find a strong cultural scene. The renewed growth of the Valley and small businesses is reflected in our strong symphony and regional theatre.

We attract both talent and clientele

Studies demonstrate that a city's cultural atmosphere is a deciding factor when would-be Bluewater residents consider relocation.

You are supporting the best on both sides of the border

Musically speaking, the ISO is now the strongest regional orchestra between London and Detroit. This drive forward, along with our willingness to program diverse music, has attracted the strongest musicians from our bridged communities and beyond. Your contribution supports our continuing modernization.

We deserve more than we earn

Ticketing revenue accounts for less and a third of costs to stage a single concert series. The rest must come from private donations and grant support, and since our goals include a more professional orchestra and lower ticket prices for a more inclusive community experience, we can't operate without donors.

We bring both music and musical instruction to the next generation

Over 5,000 young people in Canada & Michigan saw the ISO perform this season. Bluewater area students makeup a segment of our volunteer base to assist ISO operations. And in 2022 we launched El Sistema, a free violin program centered in our First Nation communities.

ALL CONTRIBUTIONS ARE TAX DEDUCTIBLE

No one will ever tax your generosity! ISO support from both corporate and private donors has ranged from $5 to $75,000, and the benefits are endless & rewarding.
