Mission:
To ensure the continued existence of major symphony orchestras in North America through volunteerism.
AMSOV CONFERENCES THROUGH THE YEARS
Conferences have always been an important component of AMSOV. They serve the purpose of bringing people together who share a passion and a concern for the continuing success of symphony orchestras and symphonic music. Conferences provide a time and a place for the sharing of ideas, learning about ways to engage volunteers, discovering and developing new methods of fundraising, and building leadership skills. Since 1937, conferences have played a sustaining role in the success of AMSOV.
