The CSO receives less than 2% of the total federal funding allocated to orchestras in Australia. Ticket sales cover around 60% of the cost of a large symphonic concert.
The rest has come from people who decided this orchestra was worth supporting.
Your gift will help sustain the full breadth of what we do: world-class mainstage performances, accessible tickets, community programs, and the professional musicians and artists at the heart of everything we deliver for Canberra.
