Lilly Endowment grants $2M to Indy Symphony

Published



INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — The Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra is getting $2 million from the Lilly Endowment if it succeeds in its campaign to raise $5 million by Feb. 3 to settle a labor dispute with its musicians.

The symphony said Thursday that half of the money is earmarked for continuing a marketing campaign to meet the fundraising goal, to raise money in the future and to upgrade a website for ticket purchases. The other $1 million would pay for replacing the 80-year-old seats in the Hilbert Circle Theatre.
