Please Donate to the Orchestra

We are a 501(c)(3) organization; contributions are tax-deductible.

From the start, Whidbey Island Orchestra has relied on community support. Our income comes from fees the adult musicians pay to participate, concert fees and, especially, community donations.

We are delighted that we have been rejoined by our brass and woodwind players to once again form a full orchestra! Executive Director/Music Director/Conductor Dr. Cynthia Morrow, an Island favorite, has chosen a variety of new and old Christmas, Hannukah, and winter-theme. Please take a moment to donate, and click the link to see the videos.
