Make a Gift Today to Support the Future of Classical Music
Gifts to the Music Academy of the West are deeply appreciated and enable us to create the most innovative, exciting, and comprehensive Summer School and Festival possible – as well as our year-round Sing! children’s choral program and Innovation Institute.
Your involvement is particularly meaningful as we celebrate our 75th Anniversary in 2022. Our investors are partners in our mission and help us ensure a strong future for classical music.
"Being a member of the Council of Contributors is exciting, enriching, and prudent, supporting the future of performing arts."
Georgia Lynn, Council Member & Compeer
