The Bismarck Mandan Symphony seeks to educate, enrich, entertain, and engage. To achieve these goals the symphony provides a season of six concerts and occasional special events.
The Annual Budget of the Symphony is $320,000. Ticket sales provide approximately 25%-28% of all the total funds necessary for the budget. Funding comes from a variety of sources: Corporations, Grants, Bequests and You.
Gifts may be made in the way that is more convenient for you:
