- Welcome
Welcome
Welcome to the Hot Springs/Hot Springs Village (HS/HSV) Symphony Guild. Incorporated in 1986, our Guild has grown to be one of the largest Guilds in the nation. Although it offers its membership entertainment programs, it is primarily a philanthropic organization - providing support for the Arkansas Symphony Orchestra and promoting music education in schools located in Garland County and helping students master their craft. The Guild is undeniably the largest philanthropic organization focused specifically on promoting music education in our local schools.
If you would like to see a specific example of how your support of our music education programs impacts the community, click here to hear about the growth and success of music education in the Mountain Pine School District.
The Guild's three-pronged Mission is a critical factor in retaining and attracting members and garnering financial support. Our members are not only interested in good programming, but are keenly interested in advancing music education, a critical component of the academic curriculum. As a member, you have advance purchase opportunities for our events and a variety of volunteer opportunities furthering music education.

Become a member or make a donation
Your tax deductible membership in or donation to the Guild will help support our Arkansas Symphony Orchestra and the Guild's educational mission which is to promote music education in the schools and to help students master their craft.
We raise funds through our dues and special events to create opportunities for children in the greater Hot Springs area to have music in their lives. While achievement is important, we feel that all children should feel the joy of hearing live music and learning to sing or play an instrument. Joy sparks the imagination and allows them to become more creative in all aspects of their lives.
We have several programs that address the need in different ways: Scholarships for future music educators as they enter college, the annual Children's Concert at the Bank OZK Arena in Hot Springs, scholarships for area students to summer music camps, grants for essential equipment to area schools, as well as supporting our Arts Partners program "Orchestra and You".
Transportation to the Sunday Afternoon ASO Concerts in Little Rock. ASO Masterworks Concerts. The Symphony Guild sponsors transportation to the ASO Sunday afternoon Masterworks concerts in Little Rock using The Village Chauffer. You may purchase a season transportation ticket (6 concerts) for $240 or individual round-trip tickets for $45. Transportation tickets must be purchased by the Friday before the concert (October 3 for season or first concert tickets.) For Masterworks concerts, The Village Chauffer will depart the parking lot of the Lake Forest Senior Living Campus at 121 Cortez Road at 12:45 PM and will arrive back at approximately 6 PM. Our ASO concert transportation tickets do not include admission to the concert. To purchase transportation tickets, please visit the Events page on our website. For your convenience, there are links to purchase ASO concert tickets in the ASO section of this page and on the Events page. ASO Pops Concerts. This season but we are not sure there is enough interest to arrange transportation to the Sunday afternoon Pops concert series. If there is interest in transportation, but not enough to engage The Village Chauffer; we will consider facilitating carpools. If you have questions about our concert transportation to either concert series, please contact Molly Crawshaw at mscrawshaw@yahoo.com or 501.915.2197. |
