The Orchestra of Northern New York publicly acknowledges and sincerely thanks the following individuals, businesses, organizations, foundations, Fe4deral and New York State agencies for their generosity during the pandemic. Donors in the last two years are listed below.
Only 24% of the revenue needed to produce a season of high-quality orchestral music comes from ticket sales and contract fees. The remaining 56% is received from loyal supporters who believe that having a professional symphony orchestra in rural, upstate New York truly does enhance the quality of life in the region.
On behalf of everyone in the ONNY Family, from board members and management/staff to musicians and volunteers, thank you to the Friends of the Orchestra.
