WHY HOST A MUSICIAN?
Your Hospitality Makes a Difference
Every Fort Myers Philharmonic performance depends on more than the musicians audiences see onstage. It also depends on the volunteers and community members working behind the scenes to make those performances possible.
When you volunteer to host a musician, you help the Philharmonic direct more of its resources toward exceptional performances, artistic growth and meaningful community engagement. You may also discover that getting to know one of the artists makes the concert experience even more memorable.
Whether you host once or become a familiar part of the program, your generosity helps orchestral music continue to grow and thrive in Fort Myers and throughout Southwest Florida.
