The mission of Collaborative Musicians' Project is to:
Promote accessible and consistent ensemble education and performance opportunities for musicians of all ages
Foster the development of chamber music skills for young musicians through our Youth Ensemble and School Support programs
Sponsor select professional ensembles in performances, projects and educational and community outreach
The broadcast will take place at 7pm Pacific.
Collaborative Musicians' Project will be accepting donations at the Gala concert, and deeply appreciate donations of any value.
As a not-for-profit organization, Collaborative Musicians' Project relies on donations to maintain our program. It costs over $20,000 to operate a season of programming. We are hoping to raise a minimum of $8,000 with our Sky Is The Limit Fundraising Gala. One of the ways we are working towards this goal is through our Youth Ensemble Program 40-Day Practice Challenge. Our youth ensemble members are seeking donors to sponsor them $1, $2 or $5 for every hour they are practicing in the 40 days leading up to the Gala. Several Sponsored Ensemble members are joining them in donating practice hours. As of this date, we have a total of 486 practice hours, with $1,045 in promised donations. We know we can get more donations. If each student has ten sponsors, we would easily reach our goal. If you are interested in sponsoring a youth ensemble member, please learn more here: https://forms.gle/JxSYGePY9tgL3osB8 (Sponsors earn free admittance to the Gala Concert).
