Kaufman Relief Fund

The Day of Musical Action may be over, but our Kaufman Relief Fund drive will continue through the summer. Our goal is to raise $500,000 by August 31st, 2020 to ensure that the Center can continue to offer music education to the inspiring students who made yesterday’s event so special. We are off to a great start, and I know that with your support we can reach our goal!

About the Day of Musical Action

On June 1, 2020, the entire Kaufman Music Center community came together for a special online event, the Day of Musical Action. Over 130 performers – including students, ensembles, families, staff, faculty, and world-famous artists – came together and shared twelve hours of music to celebrate Kaufman Music Center. The Day of Musical Action raised critical funds to support the Center, ensuring our education and performance programs can continue to thrive.

More than 610 generous members of our community contributed over $261,000 to the Day of Musical Action.
