MUSICA VIVA KENTLANDS GIVING CIRCLES
Support Free Professional Live Orchestral Music
Musica Viva Kentlands was created to bring high-quality live classical music to the community in an informal and welcoming setting. Each September, hundreds of attendees from throughout the region gather on the Kentlands Clubhouse Lawn to enjoy a free outdoor orchestral concert performed by professional musicians.
While admission is free, producing these performances requires significant resources, including musician fees, stage, sound, lighting, video production, and livestream services.
Why Give?
Your support helps:
Compensate professional musicians and guest artists
Keep admission free and accessible to all
Support stage, sound, lighting, and livestream production
Preserve a cultural tradition enjoyed by audiences of all ages
Every contribution is used exclusively to support Musica Viva programming, helping sustain and grow free professional live orchestral music for audiences of all ages.
The Musica Viva Giving Circles were created to recognize and thank the individuals and families whose support helps sustain our programs and ensures that free professional live orchestral music remains accessible to audiences of all ages.
At the heart of this effort is a commitment to ensuring that Musica Viva can continue bringing free professional live orchestral music to the Kentlands and greater Gaithersburg area for years to come.
