The South Dakota Symphony Orchestra has received its largest gift ever.

The organization announced Tuesday it’s the recipient of a $2 million donation from Rosemarie and Dean Buntrock.

The gift will support concerts for the Lakota Music Project and a production of Giants in the Earth, a Pulitzer Prize winning opera.

Buntrock, originally from Columbia, South Dakota, is a lifetime trustee of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra and was inspired to donate after reading about the South Dakota Symphony in an article in The New Yorker, according to a news release.
