To further our commitment to the Dallas Symphony Orchestra, Innovators members provide valuable services in volunteer hours to help staff with various symphony-related events. Be an active member and volunteer as much as you can! Opportunities include:
Symphony Store
One of the benefits of being an Innovators member is the opportunity to volunteer at the Symphony Store. The duty is easy: arrive at the store no later than one hour before a performance, work during the intermission, and after the performance helping store personnel with gift wrapping and customer inquiries.
In exchange for your time, you will receive free parking in the staff parking garage and two tickets for that evening’s performance, when available.

Publicity
Help publicize Behind the Scenes events, and promote Innovators to local publications.
Contact Sharon Knowles, sknowles@csc.comSeason Ticket Campaign
The Season Ticket Volunteer Calling campaign is held each year in the early Spring. Volunteers call Season Ticket Subscribers to renew their subscription seats and secure donations. Patrons are open to the renewal phone calls and DSO staff is always available to help with any questions regarding seating, payment, or season tickets. Volunteers are rewarded with free subscriptions, prizes, food, and beverages. It is a great way to help the Symphony raise over $1,000,000 in revenue, while meeting new friends and having fun!
