Help create a new work for our group!

The Peabody Preparatory Performance Academy would like to commission a string orchestra work to be premiered at the January, 2013 Performance Academy Festival Orchestra Concert at the Walters Museum of Art Sculpture Court. Peabody Conservatory retired faculty member, Tom Benjamin, has agreed to write a piece for this special event. He plans to write a work inspired by the great Concerti Grossi that were written for strings in the Baroque Era.

Requested Amount: $500 for the commission, plus we will hire a student to copy Tom's piece into Sibelius (score and parts) and plan to pay them $400. Total requested :$900 We are over half way there! Please help us make it all the way!

Donated so far: $660

Help a Flute Student!

For the fifth year, faculty artist Marina Piccinini, widely recognized as one of the world's leading flute virtuosos, will offer a week of summer master classes at Peabody for selected flute students. The Marina Piccinini International Flute Master Classes program is focused primarily on advanced to professional level flautists, but also embraces high school students looking to pursue a future in music, as well as serious amateurs. A limited number of scholarships are offered each year to accepted students who have financial need. Your gift could make an immeasurable difference in the life of a talented student with a passion to study exceptional flute techniques with Marina Piccinini.

A full scholarship for a week is $900. Partial scholarships are also given. Gifts of any size will help!  For more information about the Master Classes click here.

Requested Amount: $900. Wow! We've almost raised enough for two scholarships! We'd love to support even more students if possible!

Donated so far: $1,700

Library Wishes...

Bring us into the 21st century!

We would love to have the DVD set of The Singer's Voice. Our VHS set is wearing out because it is so heavily used by students and members of the voice faculty. We need to replace it and moving to DVD would be great!

Requested amount: $710

Donated so Far: $200

Help us purchase a new DVD set of The Singers Voice. A gift plate would be attached.
