Volunteer with the Paradise Symphony

The Paradise Symphony Orchestra thrives because of dedicated volunteers who share their time, talents, and enthusiasm for music. From the musicians who rehearse and perform, to the helpers who welcome audiences and support concerts behind the scenes, every volunteer plays an essential role in keeping music alive on the Ridge.

Whether you’re interested in lending a hand before concerts, assisting with stage setup, contributing professional skills, or joining our board, volunteering is a purposeful way to support the arts, meet new people, and be part of a vibrant musical community. All help is deeply appreciated!
