Join us in making music happen
now and in the future! You can designate a musician's chair in your
name, your family's name, or the name of a company or loved one. Your gift of $500 and up will designate a musician's chair for 12 months. Many chair sponsors have underwritten the same musician for years and developed special friendships. At this time we have only a few chairs remaining that have not yet been assigned to at least one sponsor. Call (253) 272-7264 or email Executive Director Andy Buelow for more information.
