Give your old instrument another chance to be heard.

The Charlottesville Symphony Society is happy to receive gently used orchestral instruments. We will pay for minor repairs, then donate them to underserved children or school music programs in the orchestra’s 11-county service area.

Please email symphony@virginia.edu or call the Symphony office at (434) 924-3139.

Don’t have a used instrument, but want to help? Tax-deductible charitable contributions underwrite refurbishment costs. Checks payable to the Charlottesville Symphony Society can be mailed to:
