Southern Oregon University: Chamber Music Concerts

Chamber Music Concerts

CMC Membership

We invite you to join our loyal membership by contributing to Chamber Music Concerts for our 2008-2009 season. Because of our acoustically superb recital hall's intimate size, even our sell-out performances cannot cover the rising costs of our first-class chamber artists. Ticket sales provide only about half of our revenue. The generous gifts of CMC’s members are therefore a critical base that we rely upon as we continue to present world-class artists while keeping our ticket prices reasonable. In appreciation of your membership, CMC offers the following benefits:

Steinway Society: $5000+
Priority seating, recognition in CMC programs, an invitation to all member receptions with the artists, Chamber Music Concerts newsletters, complimentary copy of Chamber Music America magazine, two free season tickets for the Evening, Matinee, or Combo Series

Endowment Fund

To ensure that Chamber Music Concerts will continue to present world-class artists for years to come, CMC established an Endowment Fund. The Fund will help to keep ticket prices reasonable by offsetting the rising costs of production, as well as to help support our educational outreach to residents of the Rogue Valley. Gifts to the Endowment Fund may take many forms: planned giving, a series of gifts, or a one-time donation.

The Esterhazy Society

The Esterhazy Society is a special designation within CMC’s Endowment Fund for planned gifts. The Society is named for the Esterhazy family, loyal patrons of Franz Joseph Haydn, known as "the father of the string quartet."
