| The HAMDEN SYMPHONY BOOSTERS are a group of civic clubs, businesses, and individuals who donate money or services to the HSOS in order to make possible its concert series, concerto competitions and symphonic reading sessions. Our $3500 per concert cost is dependent totally on these gifts. Program ads are also available. Donations may also be targeted toward the Ruth Thompson Brooks Scholarship Award presented annually to a qualified young musician. |
