Support the Cleveland Repertory Orchestra

“When I was younger I appreciated finding venues that were free because I couldn’t otherwise go to concerts. Now, I appreciate that CRO tries to make music available to those individuals and families who cannot afford [traditional performing arts events].”
– CRO Supporter

Since 2021, the Cleveland Repertory Orchestra has been on a journey to unearth hidden gems of repertoire, amplify underrepresented voices, and challenge audiences to rethink what orchestral music can be. Together, we’re building a musical community that is both bold and inclusive.

Why give?

Many orchestras rely on ticket sales to cover many of their expenses. At the CRO, we have always believed in offering our performances for free so that cost is never a barrier that prevents someone from coming to a concert. As a result, we rely on the generosity of our sponsors, granting organizations, and contributions from our audience members to help sustain the orchestra. No gift is too big or too small.
