Volunteers are an essential part of every orchestra – they bring passion, expertise, and that all-important extra hand to help make sure the performance goes on every night. As part of the League Volunteer Council 50th anniversary, we’re looking for your stories about volunteering. Tell us why it’s important to you, about an extraordinary experience you’ve had, or why volunteers mean so much to your orchestra.

Ready to tell your story? Or a great story about volunteers? Just email your 300 words or less by March 15 to volunteers@americanorchestras.org. We’ll use these stories at upcoming events and on the League’s website throughout the 50th anniversary celebration.

Got volunteer photos or memorabilia that you’d like to share? Let us know about those, too!

Please join us in celebrating the Volunteer Council and thousands of orchestra volunteers across the country!
