Volunteerism is a fulfilling way to get involved behind the scenes with The Williamsburg Symphonia. Members of the Williamsburg Symphonia League work to further an appreciation of classical music and the musical arts, to encourage its professional musicians and to create strong community support for the orchestra. Its volunteers are essential to the orchestra's operations and the achievement of its mission.

New members are always welcome. Annual dues are $20 for an individual or $35 for a couple.
