Why we need your support
OrchKids is funded entirely outside of the BSO’s operating budget. This means our students and our program truly rely on the generosity of donors, like you! Please consider making a gift that will help our OrchKids thrive!
ORCHKIDS GENERAL FUND
OrchKids is funded entirely outside the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra’s operating budget. That means we truly rely on the generosity of donors like you to make our program and the incredible success of our students happen!
DORRIE'S DREAM FUND
Dorothy Zenilman loved music and volunteered much of her time escorting school age children to opera performances and concerts in New York City. She visited her family in Baltimore often, and was a great fan of Maestra Marin Alsop. In her younger years, Dorrie also cherished her summers away at camp, in Maine. To honor her memory and incorporate all of the things Dorrie loved, Jonathan (Dorrie’s son) and Carol Zenilman have created a special fund that helps send OrchKids students to the prestigious summer music program at the Interlochen Center for the Arts in northern Michigan.
