CONDUCTOR’S CLUB
The Conductor’s Club is comprised of a group of civic minded leaders who contribute annually to the Gulf Coast Symphony’s Endowment Fund. These contributions will help ensure the long term success of the orchestra and its mission of providing quality, live music to the Coast.
The initial goal of the Conductor’s Club is to provide the salary of the Music Director. As it grows, it will underwrite salaries for an Assistant Conductor, the Executive Director, Grant Writer, Concertmaster, and eventually a core group of musicians.
For more information, contact GCSO at (228) 896-4276.

GULF COAST SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA ENDOWMENT
The Gulf Coast Symphony Orchestra Endowment was established in June 1998 to provide sustaining support to insure the future of live symphonic music on the Mississippi Gulf Coast. Funds donated to the Endowment are not intended to be spent, but will be retained in perpetuity to generate income which will be used to supplement Gulf Coast Symphony budgets, when required, to maintain quality, growth, and outreach programs.
When planning your personal estate giving, or honoring a special person, please consider a gift to the Gulf Coast Symphony Orchestra Endowment or the establishment of a Fiduciary Trust.
