About the Kalamazoo Symphony Orchestra Friends
Since its creation in 1930 by Kalamazoo Symphony Orchestra Founder Leta Snow, the Kalamazoo Symphony Orchestra Friends (formerly League) has been an integral part of the cultural fabric of Kalamazoo. The KSO Friends is a volunteer organization comprised of enthusiastic individuals committed to promoting and supporting the Kalamazoo Symphony Orchestra through “friend-raising” activities and special events.
Through the years, KSO Friends efforts have helped introduce thousands of schoolchildren to the world of symphonic music and contributed over $2,000,000 in financial support to the KSO. Most recently, the KSO Friends contributed $30,000 to the KSO’s 100th Anniversary campaign.
