The TŌN Fund

Your generosity will sustain the next generation of great performers—more than 60 players from 13 countries around the globe—as they learn to communicate the transformative power of music to 21st-century audiences.

Your gift will support TŌN Student Fellowship Stipends,  free chamber performances around the Hudson Valley, and virtual events including livestreamed concerts from the Fisher Center at Bard. Your gift will also provide vital resources for our return to live performance at Carnegie Hall, Jazz at Lincoln Center, and The Metropolitan Museum of Art when it’s safe again to do so.

Play a defining role in our success by sponsoring a TŌN musician. Your direct support will have a lasting impact on the education and training of TŌN’s exceptional young players from around the world. TŌN offers  a master’s degree in curatorial, critical, and performance studies and an advanced certificate in orchestra studies. Your generosity will help us meet the challenges of educating a new generation of musicians to become creative ambassadors for classical music.

Named fellowships begin with a gift of $10,000+ (Concertmaster’s Circle). For detailed information on sponsoring a TŌN musician, please contact Director of Development Nicole M. de Jesús at 845.758.7988 or [email protected].

Each category includes benefits from the preceding categories. You may also wish to decline all benefits with a market value to make your gift 100% tax-deductible.
