Bring the Season to Life
26-27 Season Fundraising
As a dedicated supporter of the cultural arts, you are an essential part of the vibrant community that sustains Arizona Philharmonic. With the beginning of Season 9 approaching, we are reaching out to you for your continued support to help us continue to achieve our mission of enriching lives through the unique power of music.
In Season 8, the Arizona Philharmonic Orchestra under the direction of Peter Bay, along with our chamber music ensembles, brought to Prescott 5 concerts of varied and stunning performances. We continually strive to offer experiences that not only inspire our audiences but also provide a platform for the unrivaled talent of our musicians with favorites such as Mozart’s Eine Kleine Nachtmusik and Samuel Barber’s Adagio for Strings to less familiar works.
However, we cannot achieve this without the generous support of patrons like you.
Our current season will cost $190,000. Of that, we expect ticket sales to cover about $60,000, leaving a gap of $130,000. We have set a fundraising goal of half that gap – $65,000. This will help cover the essential costs of the upcoming season, and we would be honored if you could consider making a gift to support our mission.
We know that some people like to donate to specific things so this year we are offering you several ways to help ensure that our programs continue to not only thrive, but continue to evolve.
Your tax-deductible donation to Arizona Philharmonic can also be made through an IRA account, or your Donor Advisory Funds account.
