Join the Modesto Symphony Orchestra’s Volunteer Team!
Help Make Picnic Happen!
Our Picnic at the Pops! concert takes place annually every Saturday following Labor Day in September at the E. & J. Gallo Winery grounds.
Picnic at the Pops! isn’t just a concert for the community, it’s a success because of our community!
If you’re interested in volunteering, please visit our Picnic Volunteer Page, and we will be in contact shortly with more information about your shift and duties. Each volunteer must submit their form individually.
The Modesto Symphony Orchestra is infinitely grateful to have a wonderful group of music lovers of all ages from our community who give their time and support to help make so much of what we do possible. Volunteer today to enrich our community through live orchestral music and music education!
Opportunities are available year-round, but especially for Picnic at the Pops and Holiday Candlelight Concerts.
