of an actual musician in the Fort Smith Symphony. This sponsorship significantly
contributes to the artistic excellence of the orchestra to assure talented players in the ensemble. It’s also an excellent way
to give back to the community, to assist in providing the top-notch concert
events the Symphony produces each season!
