Elgin Symphony League

Since 1971, the Elgin Symphony League (ESL) has supported our award-winning orchestra’s commitment to artistic excellence, innovative programming, and social advocacy for the diverse communities served. Each year, members contribute their time and talents to the League's many projects and serve as ambassadors to the community on behalf of the ESO.

The ESL Boutique operates in the lobby of the Hemmens Cultural Center before each concert and during intermissions. The League donates sales revenue from the Boutique to the ESO. For more information about this volunteer group, please email League Chair Mary Maloy using the form provided.
