ASO Giving Day, April 18th, 2024

Tuesday, April 18th is ASO Giving Day, a chance to learn more about and support the work that your ASO musicians are doing across the state! They’re in schools across the state performing quartet demos, teaching violin classes, via streaming of the Children’s Concerts, and more! 

Stay tuned for more ASO Giving Day info, featuring exclusive content from your ASO musicians!

ASO will end the day with a family-friendly music event at the Rail Yard in Little Rock from 4:30 to 6:30 pm on April 18th! This free event will feature various exciting musical acts you won’t want to miss, along with food trucks, cash bars, yard games, a pie-in-the-face contest, and more!

These kinds of community events are made possible by donations like yours on Giving Day. Thank you!

This thermometer will be updated periodically throughout the day on April 18.
