We are deeply grateful for your generosity, which empowers the outstanding musicians we serve. Each year our roster artists perform hundreds of concerts around the country and beyond, take part in robust educational and community engagement opportunities, grow as citizen artists, and launch meaningful careers.
“To CAG supporters, thank you from the bottom of my heart. So many of my professional opportunities I would not have had, were it not for you and the amazing team at Concert Artists Guild. I ask you to please stay a part of our family and help us continue this fantastic work.”
— Kyle Dickson, conductor
Concert Artists Guild’s programs are supported, in part, by public funds from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs, in partnership with the City Council, the National Endowment for the Arts, and are made possible by the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of the Governor and the New York State Legislature.
“Becoming part of the CAG community in various capacities since the 90’s allowed me to surround myself with the universal language of music served up by insanely-talented young players. It has been thrilling to support CAG’s hallmark identification and encouragement of these musicians as they fearlessly incorporate classical training with contemporary idioms, introducing a world-wide diversity of timbres, instruments, solo and ensemble playing. The organization secures indissoluble personal and artistic bonds from which we all profit.”
— Denise Dailey, Author and Former Board Chair, CAG
