The Union Symphony Orchestra Volunteer Council was created to coordinate the talents, time, and energy of people who care about music and the Orchestra.
Volunteers perform various functions at concerts and special events, and work behind the scenes to support the staff of the Union Symphony Orchestra. Through its committees, the Council offers many opportunities for participation in a wide range of activities and welcomes new volunteers who wish to have a long-term involvement with a community of individuals who are dedicated to the USO and the spirit of volunteerism.
