Friends of the Topeka Symphony

Welcome to the Friends of the Topeka Symphony! (Formerly the Topeka Symphony League) 

We are the ancillary arm of the Topeka Symphony Society, and eagerly support the programs of the Topeka Symphony, Youth Orchestras, and Endowment through fundraising efforts and volunteer activities. 

Friends members have opportunities to assist with concert receptions and dinners, serve as ushers and greeters at concerts, and help with various activities of the Youth Orchestras.  

Plans are underway for our 36th major fundraiser, the Topeka Symphony Gala on Friday, March 14, 2025. Check the Annual Fundraiser link periodically to view updated details as we get closer to that date! I hope you will mark your calendar and join us for a lively evening to benefit our orchestra and youth ensembles. 

Friends of the Topeka Symphony is organized exclusively for charitable and educational purposes under 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. 

We encourage and welcome new members to the Friends of the Topeka Symphony and deeply appreciate the continued support of our renewing members. Information is available on this website. 

The Friends of the Topeka Symphony looks forward to another year of enjoying live music together!
