Happy New Year!! 🎉

As we welcome 2026, we’re deeply grateful for your support throughout 2025, and for helping us exceed our $50,000 goal in support of Bay Area musicians and audiences through our Winter Fund Drive. Because of you, programs like SF Music Day, the Musical Grant Program, and the Fiscal Sponsorship Program continue to uplift artists.

We’re excited to keep building what’s next: advocating for musicians, presenting more accessible performances, and strengthening partnerships with peer organizations across the Bay Area.

Thank you for being part of our community. We look forward to sharing more music with you in the year to come! 🎶

01/01/2026

As we approach the New Year, all of us at InterMusic hope you have had a wonderful holiday season. 🎉✨ We’re deeply grateful for the community that continues to uplift Bay Area music!

This year, your support helped sustain artists through our Fiscal Sponsorship Program, providing vital resources to working musicians, and welcoming 18 Affiliates to the program in 2025! It also made possible the 18th edition of SF Music Day, bringing an exciting lineup of artists and countless audience members together in celebration of local music and community.

There’s still time to make an impact! We’re in the final stretch of our Winter Fund Drive – help us reach our $50,000 goal and carry this momentum into the year ahead. intermusicsf.org/donate

12/18/2025

Our 2026 Winter Fund Drive is officially underway! Make a difference for Bay Area music today with a meaningful donation.

Today, we’re shining a light on the Musical Grant Program.

For nearly two decades, the MGP has helped artists turn bold ideas into performances, recordings, commissions, and more. This year, with support from the Clarence E. Heller Foundation and generous individuals, InterMusic was able to award funding to 23 ensembles, presenters, and composers, ensuring that musicians have the resources they need to create, celebrate, and share small ensemble music.

As funding challenges continue to grow, we’re turning to our community to help sustain this work. Please consider a gift of support for InterMusic SF and the Musical Grant Program and help us reach our goal of raising $50,000 through our 2026 Winter Fund Drive.

Make a gift today! intermusicsf.org/donate
