Earmarked Program Gifts

Ticket sales barely cover the cost of concert productions and do not cover the cost of creations of new work, rehearsals, and marketing. To ensure access to the most under-resourced communities, music education programs are offered tuition-free to students and at virtually no cost to schools; out-of-school programs are also highly subsidized and offer scholarships.

Volunteering

We occassionally need 'all hands on deck' for seasonal activities such as mailings, summer Jazz Academy, and special events. Contact us if you are interested in occasional volunteer opportunities. If you are looking for a 'deeper dive' and have time, talent, and resources to volunteer, consider joining our Board of Directors or Advisory Board.
