Supporting Sarasa

Join Sarasa in making music accessible to wider audiences!

 

We are very grateful to the various funds and individuals that have contributed so generously to Sarasa this past year, including the Massachusetts Cultural Council for their continued support. [full list of contributors]

We hear regularly from the press and others about the high quality of our music making and the wonderful atmos-phere generated at our concerts. But we also need your help to spread the word about our concert series and to develop a larger audience. Why not tell your friends about our concerts and bring them along? So please contribute, and please spread the word about Sarasa.

You can help in many ways.

Most importantly, tell all your friends about Sarasa! We need more people just like you to help us continue our outreach programs! If you subscribe to our newsletter, forward it to friends who might be interested. Most people come to a Sarasa concert on the recommendation of a friend or family member. If you enjoy our music and support our goals, spread the word.

Monetary/Investment Contributions

A monetary donation will aid Sarasa's many programs. Any amount is appreciated. Sarasa uses this money to perform concerts, raise awareness, and offer instrument aid.

  • Reception catering
  • Concert set-up & post-concert cleanup
