Thank you for your support!

The Community Women’s Orchestra (CWO) engages and celebrates women in classical music. We are one of few all-women's orchestras in the United States and have been serving the industry for 40 years.

At Community Women's Orchestra (CWO), we don't just play music—we create opportunities. We are a rare and powerful force in classical music, one of the few all-women's orchestras in the United States, dedicated to amplifying the voices of women composers and conductors.

CWO is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, Federal Tax #27-010673, in the state of California. Your donation is tax-deductible to the fullest extent of the law. If you would like to support our mission, we offer an ability to do that through our website.

Employer matching gift program

Make an investment in this groundbreaking community and help sustain the orchestra for future generations. Your donation directly supports our mission by funding rental fees for performances and rehearsal venues, musical training for our members, commissioning new works by women composers, hiring professional guest artists and providing accessible, community-driven experiences for our members in future seasons.

With your help, we can continue to expand our repertoire, reach new audiences, and ensure that women's contributions to classical music are heard and celebrated.
