MSU Wind Symphony Returns to Carnegie Hall in 2027 Match Fundraising Campaign
We are excited to announce that in 2027, Michigan State University’s Wind Symphony will return to perform at Carnegie Hall, one of the world's most prestigious concert venues. This performance represents a significant achievement for our College of Music as we celebrate our 20th anniversary in 2027, highlighting two decades of outstanding musical education, student dedication, and the high standards of excellence of MSU.
Our goal is to raise $200,000 to make this extraordinary opportunity a reality for our students. Here's what makes this campaign special – we will match all donations 1:1 up to $80,000. This means your contribution will have twice the impact!
Your donation will provide our students with:
- Performance experience at a world-renowned venue
- Valuable networking opportunities with music industry professionals
- Exposure to New York City's diverse musical culture
- Increased confidence that will benefit their future careers
Your Support Will Make a Big Difference
To support this performance, please make your gift by December 31, 2025 for the match campaign.
Your contribution to support this Carnegie Hall performance will have a lasting impact on our students and the reputation of MSU's music program. It demonstrates the strength of our Spartan community and our commitment to excellence in music education.
