How We Help

  • Each year, Friends support the NAC Orchestra's Music Education initiatives.
  • We provide awards and grants to support young people’s music programs and projects.
  • Most of our social activities double as fundraisers. Music to Dine For! and the Embassy Chamber concerts are two of our biggest fundraising activities.
