The Pacific Symphony has a number of volunteer support groups whose members generously contribute their time and talents to support an extensive schedule of concerts, community outreach activities and education programs that serve over 250,000 children and adults each year. As a Pacific Symphony volunteer, you have the opportunity to work and learn in a variety of different behind-the-scene environments, from working with students in music education programs in the schools to raising hundreds of thousands of dollars at special benefit events.
