The TŌN Fund
WE’VE BROUGHT MUSIC TO MORE THAN 55,000 NEW YORKERS IN OVER 150 CONCERTS THANKS TO SUPPORT FROM DONORS LIKE YOU!
Inspire Greatness! Support TŌN’s innovative training program for classical musicians.
What Your Gift Supports
Your generosity will sustain the next generation of great performers—more than 70 players from 14 countries around the globe—as they learn to communicate the transformative power of music to 21st-century audiences.
Your gift will support TŌN Student Living 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.
Sponsor a TŌN Musician: Named Fellowships
Play a defining role in our success by sponsoring a TŌN musician. Direct your support to have a lasting impact on the education and training of TŌN’s exceptional young players from around the world. TŌN offers both a three-year master’s degree in Curatorial, Critical, and Performance Studies and a two-year 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.
