Offer Your Time & Talents
The Buffalo Community Orchestra relies on more than just individuals with musical talent. The orchestra depends on the work of dedicated non-musicians and volunteers to make our organization successful. Volunteers provide support in many ways, large and small.
Here are some examples of opportunities:
- Ushering at concerts
- Marketing and publicity
- Approaching sponsors
- Post Concert Reception host/hostess
- Financial development/fundraising
- Community outreach and integration
Do you have other ideas or talents to share? You may have a way to contribute to the BCO’s growth and success in a way that we don’t even know yet. If you have a skill or interest that you would like to put to work helping to bring great music to our community, contact us to volunteer!
