Dues for all musicians are $350.00 annually due at the start of each NewWSO season (August/September). Click the button below to submit your payment. We accept payments from Zelle, check, credit, or debit card.  Additional donations are welcome; tax forms will be provided if requested. 

If you're not able to pay in full, payments can be made in 2, 3, or 4 installments. Monthly and daily fees are also available. Please reach out to the Treasurer, Dan Prener to make individual arrangements.  

Don’t forget to bring your mug to rehearsals for tea and coffee! It’s a great way to help both our budget and the environment.

Have extra tea, cookies, or snacks at home? Feel free to bring them along! We’ll be happy to enjoy them together.

Consider adding a small contribution to the donation cup next to the tea. Every bit goes a long way to supporting our weekly social time drinks and treats!

Please Note: "Carry In - Carry Out" Rule
Any treats you bring, kindly take with you when you leave—we're unable to store leftover food. Thank you for your cooperation!

No worries! We’re a low-pressure, non-competitive volunteer organization. If you’ll be missing a rehearsal, taking some time off, or unable to attend an upcoming concert, simply let our Conductor, Steven Huang, know. In some cases, we may need to find a substitute, so your advance notice is greatly appreciated!

In light of changed conditions, the Board has decided to remove restrictions involving Covid.  We continue to encourage vaccination, booster shots, and self-testing, and will respect those who wish to wear a mask.  Do not attend rehearsal if you think you have symptoms of Covid, or any other potentially contagious ailment, or if you have tested positive.
