Giving Day - Thank You!

This Giving Day, we reached a new RECORD amount of $20,000!!! Thank you to everyone who donated to GSO this Giving Day, we truly rely on your donations to make our concerts possible.

20th Anniversary Concert! (Spring 2026)... THANK YOU!

Our 20th anniversary is coming up, and we want to put on an extra special concert at the Prestigious Strathmore Music Center in Bethesda, MD. However, putting on a concert at the Strathmore isn't cheap, and we need your help to raise the funds to make our dream come true.

Our overarching goal is to make around $20,000, which would cover almost all of the renting, labor, and transportation costs of performing at such a popular venue. Many orchestras cover a majority of these costs with ticket sales, but the GSO at UMD has a policy of making every single one of our concerts completely free to the public. Every little bit counts and no matter what, donations will help the GSO to continue making amazing music for our fans for years to come!

Well, thanks to you all, we have reached our target goal of $20,000! That is INCREDIBLE! We are SO grateful for the support you’ve given us in our pursuits for a special 20th anniversary concert.
The GoFundMe will remain OPEN for those who would like to continue to donate (link still in bio!). Funds received past the $20k mark will go towards post-concert fees and future performances: any donations still help!
