Select your level of support & benefits below. Or, if you would like to discuss creative ways that you can sustain the future of Music—such as a larger gift of cash, gifts in kind (such as donated instruments and equipment), or a multi-year pledge—please contact a member of our Development team. 

We look forward to expanding our thank-you benefits to include discounts for tickets and subscriptions to performances, as well as invitations to house concerts and dinners with artists and students when we can once again perform and gather in person.
