For 10 years, Symphony Soup was presented as part of the Onstage Series, first by the Madison Civic Center and then by Overture Center for the Arts. In 2010, for the first time, the MSO independently produced the concert, and the Madison Community Foundation s stepped in with a significant grant to preserve this important performance.
The Madison Community Foundation encourages, facilitates and manages long-term philanthropy. Since 1942, the foundation has helped people realize their philanthropic goals, allowing them to support charitable interests anywhere in the world. The community foundation also awards grants throughout Dane County to strengthen and enhance community assets. The Madison Symphony Orchestra has benefited from the work of the foundation in many ways.
Symphony Soup is one of three core youth concerts the MSO presents each season, and it is the culmination of our nationally recognized Up Close & Musical Program. We can’t thank the Madison Community Foundation enough. More information about the Madison Community Foundation can be found at their website:
