Encore Society

Live Arts Toledo brings nearly 200 performances from the Toledo Symphony, Toledo Ballet and Toledo Jazz Orchestra to our region every year. To support these great performances, Live Arts Toledo launched the Encore Society.

Leadership investments from Encore Society members provide the resources for these outstanding music and dance performances that reach everyone in our community. Philanthropic support is the largest source of funding for Live Arts Toledo’s performances, education, and outreach.

What is Encore Society? 

President's Club members also have the opportunity to join the Encore Society. This small group of patrons that have the chance to learn more about the
artistic process, dive deeper into our future planning, and provide input on upcoming performances.

Members of the Encore Society will attend exclusive meetings with our artistic leadership to hear firsthand how our performance seasons are created. Our artistic leaders, Alain Trudel and Eric Otto, will provide curated opportunities for involvement during this process. Encore Society members will then vote to provide their input for the artistic team to use when planning future seasons.
