Donation Appreciation

Civic Music extends a sincere thanks to our many members and friends from the community who provide financial contributions, over and above the ticket price, to express their appreciation for the outstanding performances we bring to the local stage. We are a unique organization with a long tradition of serving you, our classical music enthusiasts, with live performances from around the world.  As we face escalating costs associated with bringing you the quality performances to which you have become accustomed, please consider making a tax deductible donation to Civic Music to keep our tradition alive.

Many of our members are fans of Wisconsin Public Radio. A small tax-deductible gift to Civic Music, designated for WPR announcements, will benefit both Civic Music and Public Radio.
