Because of you, ROCO has become the most accessible orchestra in the country, sharing classical music with more people, in more places, than ever before. As we chart our course into 2026, we aim to welcome even more audience members than ever before, and we cannot do it without you. In fact, 95% of our programming is funded by donors like you who share our belief that music inspires joy and is meant to be shared.
Each year, your support of ROCO makes all of this possible:
-
Accessibility through Pay-What-You-Wish tickets for most concerts, allowing everyone to experience ROCO live and in person at venues across Greater Houston.
-
Global reach through free livestreams reaching audiences on all seven continents who otherwise would not experience the brilliance of a ROCO performance.
-
Discovery through ROCO on the Go QR codes that bring our recordings to life daily at locations across Greater Houston.
-
On-demand performances accessible to anyone, anytime through our free online listening library.
-
Groundbreaking creativity through support of living composers, with 155 commissioned world premieres to date, as they shape the art form and invite audiences to experience relevant, contemporary new works.
I’m writing today to ask you to make a gift to support ROCO before the end of the year. Will you consider sending a contribution in support of our mission to shape the future of classical music? Every gift we receive is put to work ensuring that ROCO continues to fulfill this mission.
Through the generosity of donors, it is possible for us to share the joy of live performance with the widest audience possible, breaking down barriers of cost, distance, and circumstance so that all can experience the power of music. Thank you for believing that music belongs to everyone and for making it happen.
With gratitude,
Alecia Lawyer
Founder, Artistic Director, Principal Oboist
