Giving Tuesday is all about togetherness and supporting the causes you care deeply about, like great music! This year, we would like to share our hopes and vision for reimagining classical music in Berks County. And it all starts with a question:
What happens when you invest in homegrown musicians in our own community?
- Well-paying opportunities means professional musicians refine their talents locally and then stay local.
- Students collaborate and learn within a professional ensemble, preparing them for college or a professional career.
- You build a multi-generational orchestra of talented, engaged musicians.
- You enable that orchestra to perform a full schedule of well-run concerts for live and digital audiences.
- Those players contribute their talents to other local groups they perform with–and which you also enjoy.
- The audience can feel the togetherness our ensemble experiences when they perform regularly.
The result is a whole community lifted by this cycle of growth and togetherness, with more high-quality music created by homegrown musicians–for local audiences. Because people like you make it happen. We are reimagining classical music for new and experienced audiences.
Berks Sinfonietta relies exclusively on players who call Berks County their home or place of work. Our vision is to pay these musicians a rate competitive with larger markets such as Lancaster, York, and Harrisburg. As an organization, we keep pace with cost-of-living increases, having made commensurate pay raises each of the last six years. And ultimately, we believe the investment in these homegrown musicians means even more concerts and exciting music for you to enjoy and appreciate.
Berks Sinfonietta performs 6-8 live concerts each year in different venues across Berks County. You can find our full 2025-2026 season (our 12th) at https://www.berkssinfonietta.org/concerts
Join our mailing list and follow us on social media to receive concert reminders and updates, including our 2026-2027 season, which will be announced in early 2026.
We believe that communities are reimagined when you invest in people who educate, entertain, and inspire. On December 2nd, 2025, we’re going to ask you to help lead that transformation with a contribution to Berks Sinfonietta. Please consider a donation in any amount.
