The Hastings Symphony’s 100th Anniversary

A Century of Sound: Celebrating 100 Years of Music and Community

As we approach a remarkable milestone in the Hastings Symphony Orchestra’s history, we invite you to join us in celebrating 100 years of extraordinary music, artistic excellence, and community impact. The HSO has been a cornerstone of cultural enrichment in our community since 1925, and as we commemorate our centennial year in 2025, you have the chance to play a pivotal role in shaping our future.

Thanks to the incredible generosity of longtime supporters Karen and Roger Doerr, every dollar you donate will go twice as far! The Doerrs have pledged to match the first $100,000 in contributions made to the Hastings Symphony Orchestra by June 30, 2025. This means your gift will be doubled, amplifying your impact and helping the HSO continue to inspire, educate, and bring the joy of music to our community.

Your contribution to this campaign will:

• Strengthen the HSO’s Permanent Endowment: Your gift will provide long-term financial stability, ensuring that the orchestra remains a vibrant part of our community for generations to come.
• Support Innovative Programming: Help us bring diverse, creative, and entertaining performances to the stage, offering something for everyone and enriching the cultural fabric of our region.

• Enhance the HSO’s Wage Scale: By investing in our musicians, we can continue to attract and retain top-tier talent, ensuring the highest-quality performances for our audience.

This centennial campaign is about more than celebrating the past—it’s about building a brighter future for the Hastings Symphony Orchestra and the many lives we touch through music. Every contribution brings us closer to realizing this vision, and with the Doerr Matching Challenge, your support will have an even greater impact.
