Individual Giving

Contemporaneous depends largely on individuals who care about our mission and events not only to assist in funding our programs, but also to raise awareness of our events among potential audiences. Ultimately, our goal is to reach people through the power of new music, and to those who choose to support our programs we will give meaningful and consistent recognition.

As a newly founded ensemble with far-reaching ambitions, we need your support now to help us produce not only the best season we can, but a brighter future. A donation of any size will be of significant assistance. Here are some of the ways in which you can give:
