This season, the Knoxville Symphony Orchestra celebrates two milestones: our 90th Anniversary and Music Director Aram Demirjian’s 10th year on the podium. To mark this moment, generous supporters have created the 90 for 90 Matching Challenge — a $45,000 pool that will match every new or increased gift dollar-for-dollar. Together, we can raise $90,000 to sustain the music, education, and community programs that make the KSO essential to East Tennessee.
When you give to the KSO, you provide the space, teaching artists, music, and support that make Youth Ensembles possible for nearly 500 young musicians from 18 counties each year.
Developing the next generation of musicians.
Bringing programs like Young People’s Concerts and Musical Story Time to tens of thousands of children.
Delivering comfort and joy through live music in hospitals and healthcare facilities.
Inspiring performances that enrich and connect our community.
Every new or increased gift this season will be matched dollar-for-dollar, up to $45,000. That means your generosity will go twice as far to sustain the KSO’s music, education, and outreach programs. Click the 90 for 90 badge to donate now!
The 90 for 90 Matching Challenge applies to new or increased gifts to the Knoxville Symphony Orchestra Annual Fund during the 2025–26 season. Gifts will be matched dollar-for-dollar up to a total of $45,000.
