The TŌN Fund Donors
TŌN gratefully acknowledges the generosity of each and every donor who makes our work possible.
We hope you share our pride in the TŌN alumni/ae: to date, our musicians have earned positions in over 90 orchestras and ensembles across the U.S., Europe, and Asia; are seated in four U.S. military bands; and serve in over 20 music education programs across the country.
Ticket sales cover less than a quarter of the expenses for our concerts and educational initiatives. Your contributions enable TŌN to flourish, and with your sustained support, we can continue this unique educational program for classical musicians on the cusp of professional careers. Thank you for making an important investment in the future of classical music.
There are many ways to support TŌN. To make your gift now, or to update your listing, please contact Director of Development Nicole M. de Jesús at [email protected] or 845.758.7988.
