    About this project

    Tobias Vanselow from Freunde des LSO e. V. is responsible for this project
    Our association supports the Leipzig Symphony Orchestra in the performance of its diverse cultural tasks. The orchestra has to meet a number of political requirements in order to receive funding from the cultural area. For example, you have to give a not inconsiderable number of student concerts, constantly increase your attendance and always create new programs.

    Since our orchestra also aims to reach music lovers on a budget and make it possible for them to attend concerts, only a fraction of the prices that would normally be charged for such a highly qualified ensemble are charged for concert tickets. That is why our orchestra operates as a limited liability company and relies on donations.

    Especially after the Corona pandemic, however, the fulfillment of all the tasks set is not at all easy, since the cultural landscape has been virtually idle for the last two years. Our outstanding musicians also support the project by giving up a not inconsiderable part of their salaries. The highly competitive cultural area funds and the proceeds from regular concert ticket sales are far from sufficient to fulfill all the tasks set.

    However, we as an association and also our local politicians are of the opinion that our orchestra must be maintained in any case in order to bring the wonderful sounds of the old and new masters to the next generations.

    Our orchestra will be celebrating its 60th birthday next year and has come up with a great program for it. Furthermore, a commemorative publication is to be created and a large number of special concerts are to be organised.
     
    For the reasons mentioned above, the funds are not sufficient for all projects. However, in order for the orchestra to be able to fulfill its cultural mission, these projects are enormously important.

    For this reason we would like to ask you to support us in our plans and to make it possible for our excellent orchestra to carry out its projects.
