How to Strengthen and Support the Festival You Love
If you’re a chamber music lover and want to deepen your experience with—or impact on—the Santa Fe Chamber Music Festival, which presents its 53rd season this summer, there are three great ways to do so: by giving any amount (whether it’s $5 or $500) to our Annual Fund, Emma Solorio Memorial Voice Scholarship, or The Art of Possibility education initiative, all of which you can learn more about through the links below.
Annual Fund
Our Annual Fund plays a vital role in helping us meet and maintain our mission, which ranges from bringing together the world’s finest musicians for performances of chamber music in all its forms to enhancing the cultural environment of both Santa Fe and New Mexico. We recognize all Annual Fund gifts of $100 or more in our summer program book, and we offer exciting benefits for gifts of $500 or more, like invitations to our Season Preview Event and (beginning at the $1,000 level) free ticket exchanges. A gift of $2,500 or more gets you membership into our Artists’ Circle, where perks include invitations to year-round recitals and receptions, free parking passes, and more.
Emma Solorio Memorial Voice Scholarship
Another way to give is through our Emma Solorio Memorial Voice Scholarship, which, with heartfelt respect and reverence, we created in honor of a cherished student who studied voice through our Dream Big Private Lesson Program. Emma’s life was tragically cut short in a car accident this past fall, and her parents have generously offered an opening gift of $500 for the scholarship as a way to honor Emma’s life and love of music and to give other dedicated local voice students the same Dream Big opportunities Emma had.
The Art of Possibility
Finally, the third way to give is through The Art of Possibility, a critical fundraising initiative that will allow us to expand our year-round music education programs’ offerings, reach, and enrollment. Our programs—which include Music in Our Schools, Strings in Our Schools, Guitar in Our Schools, the Dream Big Private Lesson Program, and our Summer Young People’s Concerts—serve thousands of students in public schools throughout northern New Mexico and offer invaluable, life-changing experiences. Your support helps to nurture young musical talent and inspire a lasting love of music within our community.
Make your gift today through our website or by contacting our Director of Development, Joseph Hohlfeld, at 505.983.2075, ext. 108, or mailto: jhohlfeld@sfcmf.org. All gifts are tax deductible as prescribed by law. Because Artists’ Circle memberships include benefits, the non-deductible portion varies by giving level.
Thank you for being an important part of the Festival and for making everything we do possible.
