The Symphony Orchestra Academy of the Pacific relies on financial support from its audiences, patrons, corporate sponsors as well as governments and foundations. This support ensures the availability of orchestral training, the finest orchestral music and community outreach programs. Each year, earned revenue covers only 60 percent of the costs of SOAP; gifts from generous donors like you make up the balance. SOAP has developed a broad range of giving opportunities to fit individual needs. Donating to the Symphony Orchestra Academy of the Pacific fills an important philanthropic need, offers tax and financial benefits, and entitles the donor to exclusive privileges.

SOAP has earned its reputation as one of the top symphony orchestral training centers in the world through its stellar faculty, unique program and performance excellence. Financial support is critical to the SOAP's ability to maintain its artistic stature and to continue its many educational and community programs. More...
