The Gift of a Lifetime!

The Encore Society of the Baton Rouge Symphony Orchestra honors individuals who, through estate planning, have established bequests, trust and other legacy gifts to the BRSO Endowment.  The generosity of each Encore Society member ensures the continued vitality and growth of BRSO from one generation to the next.  They make extraordinary, living gifts to loved ones, futures audiences and to our community.  If you have named BRSO in your estate plans, you are already a member!  Let us know!


Who are the members of the Encore Society? 

  • Community leaders and arts advocates who believe that through their philanthropic support they can benefit BRSO in transformational ways.

  • Accomplished art-lovers who represent a culture of shared values, goals and a love of classical music that characterizes the very best of BRSO.

  • Like-minded individuals who invest because they are convicted that BRSO presents opportunities for inspiration, growth in creativity and connection building that benefit our community in the immediate and in years to come.
