We have loved hearing about what inspires you, and want to share some of ways music has inspired our community: "I'm inspired by the mysterious energy of music when it enlivens the essence of the human experience." "I am inspired by the history and universal message of music that transcends time."... "Every single experience we've had at the SP&O has been breathtaking and awe-inspiring! We love it! And we look forward to being a part of it again. " This is the impact we strive to create.

"There is simply nothing else which compares to being on stage surrounded by glorious music, an excellent orchestra, engulfed in a strong story. It's challenging, exciting and exhilarat...ing!"

Music affects us all in different ways so, what inspires you? For Sheree Meyer, Dean of the College of Arts and Letters, CSU Sacramento and member of the SP&O Board of Directors, it's how music creates community. "From my earliest memories of singing songs in the back seat of my family car to singing folk-rock with my husband, music has always connected me to those I love, Meyer says. Arts organizations like the SP&O bring people in our communities together in ways that a...ffirm both that which we have in common and our diversity. Help us continue to create this impact by making a gift to the Sacramento Philharmonic & Opera! Thank you for your consideration! https://www.sacphilopera.org/support/donate/

In the spirit of listening, we’ve been asking our community and members of our organization: what inspires you? Having the ability to make music is an incredible sonic experience that is very spiritual to me, says Julian Dixon, principal tubist of the SP&O orchestra. Making music is essentially the celebration of life and being alive. As a tuba player, with the instrument’s great versatility and range of power, I enjoy contributing to that experience, especially knowing t...hat the real impact of the music is felt from the bottom up. * * * Whether it's amazing concerts, impactful music education programs, access to the arts, or all the reasons in between, support from patrons like you make this and more possible.
