Adopt a Musician

Professional musicians need food clothing, shelter, a safe place to play.

As an Adopt-a-Musician Sponsor, you or your organization can help.

Your $150 donation to Chaspen Foundation sponsors one string, wind, brass or percussion player for one performance.

In exchange you receive a signed photo (or digital image ) of your musician , a personal letter of thanks, and the joy of watching and listening to your musician playing a concert with one of the Chaspen Orchestras.

Your generous support assures your community, your friends, your family, of the highest-quality cultural experience possible. And... it keeps professional musicians off the streets.

If you would like to Adopt a Musician, please Contact Us and tell us which of the following instruments you would like to sponsor.

If there is a specific artist you wish to sponsor, tell us who.

Violin	Viola	Cello	Bass
Flute	Oboe	Clarinet	Bassoon
Horn	Trumpet	Trombone	Percussion
Soprano	Mezzo	Tenor	Baritone
Bass	Conductor	Composer	Other
