Women’s Committee
The Grand Rapids Symphony Women’s Committee was founded in 1941 to promote and support the growth of the Grand Rapids Symphony and to further the appreciation and understanding of classical music.
We would like to invite West Michigan women of all ages who enjoy good music to join Women’s Committee. It’s fun and your involvement will help support the Grand Rapids Symphony.
