Would you consider becoming a Harmony Partner with a gift of $5 or $10 a month? Your support helps us keep the essentials on hand so that every student who walks through our doors is ready to learn.

A Harmony Partner gift keeps our program spaces stocked with the everyday materials that make learning possible — sheet music, pencils, rosin, cleaning supplies, tissue boxes, and the dozens of small necessities that teachers and students reach for every single day. It's the foundation beneath everything else we do.

  A gift of $25 or $50 a month makes you an Ensemble Partner — someone whose investment directly sustains our rehearsal program and keeps our ensemble doors open for every student who wants to participate.

An Ensemble Partner gift funds the day-to-day costs of running a thriving ensemble program — printed music and materials, rehearsal supplies, administrative needs, and the operational backbone that keeps everything on schedule. At this level, your support moves us from surviving to sustaining.

At $75 a month, your Overture Partner gift covers the cost of keeping our instruments performance-ready all year long. It's one of the most direct ways you can support the quality of what our students experience on stage.

A Overture Partner gift funds instrument care and maintenance — piano tuning, instrument repairs, equipment upkeep, and the cost of keeping every instrument in our program in performance-ready condition. Because a student can't give their best when their instrument isn't at its best.

• Priority recognition in print and digital concert programs

A Concerto Partner gift sponsors music lessons for students who wouldn't otherwise have access to individual instruction. At this level, your contribution directly covers instructor time, allowing us to extend one-on-one teaching to youth in underserved households — filling the gap left by budget cuts in school music programs.
