The Huntsville Symphony Orchestra Guild was officially established in 1960. Its purpose is to foster, promote and increase the knowledge and appreciation of music to the residents of Madison County and the surrounding areas. The Guild's financial and volunteer support assists in the organization of classes, lectures, music appreciation events and performances of symphonic music in cooperation with the Huntsville Symphony Orchestra.

Now in the forty-eighth season of service to the Orchestra, the Guild has raised in excess of $4.25 million and has volunteered in excess of 671,000 hours of service.
