About this fundraiser

JMS Musikfest is a transformative summer performing arts program for middle school, high school, and undergraduate students from across New York City and beyond. These young artists—many from underserved communities—are talented, passionate, and determined to pursue music at the highest level. Your support directly impacts their ability to learn, create, and perform in a program that prepares them for college, conservatory, and professional careers.

Funds are needed now to secure faculty, rehearsal spaces, instruments, technology, and learning materials. With your help, we can also provide scholarships so that no student is turned away due to financial hardship.

This program is deeply personal to me. Watching students discover their voice, develop their artistry, and take pride in their achievements is my greatest reward. Your contribution is more than a donation—it’s an investment in their future, in the power of the arts, and in the belief that talent should never be limited by circumstance.

I am profoundly grateful for every person who chooses to stand with these young musicians. Together, we can give them the training, opportunities, and confidence they need to shine—both on stage and in life.
