The Symphony Syracuse Foundation (SSF) was founded by musicians of the Syracuse Symphony Orchestra, Inc. after its bankruptcy this past spring. Our mission is to build an appreciation for symphonic music by sponsoring and presenting orchestral and ensemble concerts throughout Syracuse and Central New York. While not a successor to the Syracuse Symphony, we look forward to providing the community with excellent performances while acting as a lifeboat organization for the musicians of the former SSO. The Symphony Syracuse Foundation presented a number of performances this summer and additional concert dates are anticipated in the near future.

We are most grateful for your support and hope to continue to serve the community that has so loyally supported us for so many years. With your help, we intend to do all in our power to assist in the formation of a new symphony orchestra to serve the entire Central New York region.
