Did You Know...

The Ogden Symphony Ballet Association is a completely separate and distinct organization from the Utah Symphony & Opera and Ballet West. Ogden Symphony Ballet Association contracts with these artistic companies for local performances, and does not receive subsidies from them. The RAMP (Recreation, Arts, Museums & Parks) tax, approved by the voters in Weber County in November 2004, benefits the arts community.

The average cost to OSBA for:

A ballet is $35,000 a performance.

A masterworks concert is $27,500.

A pops concert is $30,000.

A family concert is $9,000

Guest artists' fees range from $4,000 to $16,500. Production, venue rental and marketing costs are additional.

Ticket sales cover approximately 45% of our total expenses. Therefore, we must raise the balance through fund raising efforts.

Did you know that...

Ogden Symphony Ballet Association must raise over $500,000 each year to pay for performances.

This amount pays for the cost of the local performances; it does not pay Ogden Symphony Ballet Association staff salaries, overhead or advertising.

Did you know that...

The cost of bringing these performances to Ogden is born totally by the Ogden Symphony Ballet Association. This Association is proud of its history and the many people who, in large and small ways, have helped make it the success that it is today. When you contribute to the Ogden Symphony Ballet Association, you help maintain the quality of life that makes our community a great place to live and work.
