As one can imagine, opportunities to perform in programs that Thousand Oaks Philharmonic sponsors can not be made available without expense. Considerable expense, really, and the minimal funds collected through ticket sales do very little to offset the total cost of producing a concert. We are thankful for several very generous donors, who we hope have "primed the pump" for others in the private sector, as well as the corporate world, to help keep the spirit of Thousand Oaks Philharmonic alive and well for many future performances.
