Become a Patron or Patroness

The educational programs the Center for Public Musicology offers are made possible in part by the generous support of CPM patrons like you. CPM is actively pursuing 501(c)(3) status. We will inform you once that status is obtained.

 

The easiest way to donate to CPM is online, and there are numerous ways to give—one-time donations in any amount, one-time tiered levels of giving, one-time giving in honor of a friend or loved one, and perpetual giving. All patrons receive a complimentary drink and/or free admission to an event. Select patrons can propose a music topic, a venue, and a select work(s) to be performed at an event. 

​

Join the ranks of history's most elite

patrons and patronesses of music!
