WAYS OF GIVING
Your Support Creates Classical Music for All
Your contributions help bring classical music alive for the enjoyment of all our residents and visitors year-round, providing inspiring, vibrant performances in beautiful venues, and outreach programs.
For over 39 years, our Utah community continues to support the Beethoven Festival's mission of "Classical Music for All" in many ways, providing funding, in-kind housing, instruments, rehearsal space, concert venues and volunteer time.
The Festival Annual Fund
The Festival's dynamic, exciting virtuoso solo artists love performing chamber music together, creating programs to thrill longtime classical music fans and newcomers alike. Our favorite classical composers created their most expressive and exciting works for chamber groups that feature individual players on each part.
The all-classical Beethoven Festival performs throughout Utah averaging over 30 concerts and outreach events each year. Presented by the Park City Chamber Music Society, the Festival is one of Utah's only series dedicated entirely to performing pure classical music. Your annual donation helps bring the finest artists and feature concerts in the wonderful variety of inviting venues.
The number of concerts presented each year depends on the amount of funding the Festival raises. The Festival is efficiently managed with low overhead.
By managing funding efficiently, the Festival continues to gather many of the finest classical artists of this era to perform in a variety of venues each week, repeating those programs in multiple towns and cities.
From free concerts in City Park to Salon Concerts in private homes to performances in senior assisted living facilities, the Festival artists perform the same programs of the highest artistic quality for every audience.

Host a Festival Salon Concert
The Beethoven Festival Salon Concerts are favorite events at the festival. Attendees experience the exquisite, intimate virtuoso performances, mingle and savor delights from the most generous buffets - wonderfully unique and memorable.
Salon concerts can be indoors or out, and the Festival staff is experienced at designing the perfect event that features dining and command performances by the Festival artists.
When a Festival Salon Concert is hosted at your home or business, it helps set the stage for encouraging donations to help support the Festival while also creating a unique and memorable event for your friends.

If you would be interested in hosting a Salon Concert in your home, please contact Leslie Harlow by email MLBHarlow@gmail.com or by texting to 801-671-3549.
In-Kind Donations of Housing for Artists
Almost 50% of the Beethoven Festival budget is covered by in-kind gifts. Housing for the artists is the Festival's largest expense, next to artist' fees. If you have a space in Park City or very close, preferably with a separate entrance for extra safety during this Covid pandemic, where you can host one of the Festival's excellent performing artists, please contact us.
The Festival can use other tax deductible gifts including donated cars, grand pianos, stringed instruments, recording and video equipment and Apple computers. Any of these will help offset expenses. These gifts make it possible for us to bring more artists to perform and present more concerts. Please contact Leslie Harlow, Festival Director, by email at MLBHarlow@gmail.com or text to 801-671-3549 to arrange to donate a much-needed gift.

• Help us unload concert supplies and equipment, help with setup for concerts and help with stage management.
• Help sell and take tickets.
• Provide transportation for the artists on occasion.
• Assist with the video cameras and help with taking photos for the Festival.
