MORE ABOUT OUR FUNDRAISING EFFORT
Millennium Chamber Players (MCP) is an artist-run service organization that has been uniting top NYC and international artists since 2000. MCP serves as a unique hub for the music community through three main initiatives: providing free world-class performances to the public, a hands-on youth mentoring program, and targeted community outreach performances to under-served members of our community.
Now, more than ever before, music unites us to provide comfort and helps us to strengthen our resilience in the face of the unknown. In the midst of one of our world’s most challenging periods, where we can easily be lost and disconnected, MCP aims to transform fascination into passion, curiosity into confidence, and knowledge into ambition for its musicians and audiences alike.
With your heartfelt support, MCP will bring music to NYC and the world on the virtual stage. Please help MCP achieve our vision and our goal of $10,000 by December 1, 2020 to fund the Fall 2020 - Spring 2021 season and fund the MCP initiatives. Your generosity will allow MCP to compensate the many dedicated artists who are facing a completely changed world, inspire young performers to continue pursuing their passion in the face of great adversity, and bring joy through music to the under-served communities across NYC.
