WHY EMERALD CITY MUSIC.
When a community rallies together, amazing things happen. In our first-ever season, hundreds of community members banded together to grow Emerald City Music from an ambitious idea into a national leader in classical music experiences. Now you can join the movement by making a one-time or monthly contribution, and any amount – from $10 to $10,000 – truly makes it possible for thousands more people to rediscover how awesome classical music is.

ONE–TIME GIFT
WHERE DOES YOUR SUPPORT GO?
Do you remember the first time you attended a live concert? You take your seat, the lights dim, and you wait in anticipation as the artists take the stage to transport you away. Your support of Emerald City Music allows others to experience that for the very first time.
A donation of $5,000 sponsors an artist's entire visit to Seattle and Olympia, including airfare, accommodations, and performance fees.
A donation of $1,500 sponsors the rental of a concert hall for one evening.
A donation of $500 provides roundtrip airfare for an artist (Fun fact: did you know that cellists always buy a seat for their instruments?)
A donation of $100 helps Emerald City Music build more new classical music lovers through outreach and social media events.
