Volunteer Committee for the Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra

Passions for a Purpose

The Volunteer Committee for the Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra has been volunteering and supporting the WSO for over 75 years. If you’ve been to a performance, you’ve already seen these lovely folks working hard to fundraise for our organization through the sale of their stunning, one-of-a-kind creations.

The Volunteer Committee is a membership team dedicated to:

  • Promoting community interest in the WSO
  • Organizing & implementing activities to financially support the WSO
  • Supporting the community outreach & educational programs at the WSO
  • Increasing series subscriptions & donations to the WSO
