The SLO Symphony’s Programs Would Not Be Possible Without Your Support!
Ways To Give
John Baer Music Education Fund
After retiring from his career as an airline pilot for United Airlines, John Baer devoted much of his time as a volunteer and donor to support the arts community. He was especially active for the SLO Symphony through the Music Van Instrument Petting Zoo presentations which bring instruments to children throughout San Luis Obispo County. The Instrument Petting Zoo is often a child’s first opportunity to hold and play a real instrument and sparks an interest in learning music in a powerful way. John was instrumental in obtaining the van itself and cared deeply about the mission of sharing music with the students in our community.
Gifts to the John Baer Music Education Fund are inspired by John’s commitment to classical music education for children. These funds will directly support youth in the SLO Symphony’s music education programs, remove barriers for student participation, and get instruments in more children’s hands, supporting classical music education for years to come. We invite you to contribute to the fund to honor John’s legacy.
