Building and sustaining a symphony orchestra is an involved endeavor for any community. The Cave Run Symphony Orchestra is the resident orchestra of Morehead and Eastern Kentucky and utilizes collaborative talents from professional musicians, educational faculty, and student interns. In addition to the performance of the conductor and the musicians, a whole host of committed volunteers give countless hours of service to the orchestra.  There is also a financial cost to providing CRSO concerts to the people of Morehead and the surrounding region.  With the orchestra in its current state, the cost is $10,000 per concert ($40,000 per season).  Expenses include professional pay for conductors and musicians; music purchase and rental; venue rental; printing of tickets and program booklets; publicity and fundraising items such as posters and brochures; advertising in print and radio; postage; supplies for the orchestra; etc.  The CRSO Board of Directors and many community volunteers work diligently raising money; selling tickets and advertising space; logistical planning; contracting musicians and conductors; reserving of venues; orchestra set-up and take-down; repertoire planning and procurement; creation of promotional and fundraising materials; web site and social media management; event staff; etc.  It is truly a team effort driven by a love of music, commitment to community, and vision.
