The student voucher program has been implemented by the Grants Pass Friends of the Symphony, as one of its many efforts to educate and encourage youth to attend live orchestra concerts.
“The Rogue Valley Symphony Orchestra is generously supported by 2008-2009 season sponsors, Jim Collier, and Fred Meyer Stores,” it was announced.
