The Arkansas Symphony Orchestra Guild

The Arkansas Symphony Orchestra Guild has almost 300 active members. In October 2009, the ASO Guild was awarded the Arkansas Arts Council’s Governor’s Arts Award for two of their educational programs – the Children’s Concert, a free concert for elementary school children and Orchestra and You, an in-school music education program which also received the 2005 American Symphony Orchestra League’s Classic Award. In June 2004, the ASO Guild won The Classic Award, the highest fundraising honor for a volunteer organization, at the American Symphony Orchestra League's National Conference for the Symphony Designer House project. The biennial Symphony Designer House is an ASOG project that is one of the most successful in the country. The ASOG has donated nearly $2 million to the symphony’s operating budget, as well as funding an endowment.
