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 60 players from 12 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; concerts at the Fisher Center, Carnegie Hall, and Jazz at Lincoln Center; the Sight & Sound series at The Metropolitan Museum of Art; and more.
Your gift also allows us to share music with the communities who need it most:
- Outreach to public schools, senior homes, and community service agencies
- Free concerts for children and families in NYC, the Hudson Valley, and beyond
- Free music programs and mentoring opportunities for students in our local communities
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.
