The Santa Monica Symphony's
Jordan Kaplan & Shoba Srinivasan Memorial Fund
The Board of Directors has designated the memorial fund to be used as the "Conductor's Discretionary Fund," for special concert events. As music director, Allen Gross may utilize these discretionary funds to enhance the programming capabilities of the Symphony.
The symphony operates on a tight budget, with little discretionary resources. Expenses for the four concerts each season (including fees for soloists, professional musicians, rental of the hall and other equipment) consume most of the orchestra's financial resources. Budgetary constraints have a significant impact on the choice of repertoire, soloists and concert schedules.
The Memorial Fund will allow Maestro Gross to program works which the orchestra would otherwise be financially unable to produce. The first such work planned was Mahler's "Das Lied Von de Erde" in the 1999-2000 concert season. The memorial fund will be acknowledged in the program whenever it is used to support a concert.
The symphony is planning a number of fund raising activities to enable the Memorial Fund to be used in a self-sustaining manner. If you are interested in helping to raise donations for the fund contact ( webmaster@smsymphony.org ), or phone the Symphony Association at 310-996-3260. Donations to the fund should be payable to the "Santa Monica Symphony Association," and marked "For the Jordan Kaplan & Shoba Srinivasan Memorial Fund."
