Donate to CONCORA
Support the Work of CONCORA:
Connecticut's Premier Professional Choir
We are deeply grateful for all of the support CONCORA receives from our patrons and friends.
Income from ticket sales only meets a portion of our operating budget. There are many ways
you may choose to help bridge the gap and ensure the future of fine choral music in our
region.
You may wish to become a member of the Friends of
Bach or an underwriter of one of our
season concerts. You may choose to support our work through a gift to the Annual
Fund,
or to provide for CONCORA’s future through a major gift or a bequest in your will.
We are happy to receive checks through the mail at any time. You may also make a secure
credit card transaction through our website by clicking here. For instructions on making
donations of stock, please call us at (860) 224-7500. All gifts are gratefully accepted
and are deductible to the fullest extent allowed by law.

The Friends of Bach
The Friends of Bach is an auxiliary organization whose mission is to enhance and
support CONCORA’s annual performances of the works of J.S. Bach. Through a series of
educational events and the donations of individual Bach lovers, The Friends of Bach provide
support that makes these exquisite performances possible. Membership
in the Friends of Bach
entitles you to attend the Bach lecture and the post-concert Friends of Bach reception. You
may become a Friend of Bach with a contribution of $100 or more.
The Campaign for CONCORA
CONCORA aspires to innovate, engage,
educate, and inspire through excellence in choral music performance. The
Campaign for CONCORA is intended to make that vision possible for the long term, by stabilizing the organization’s
financial foundation. Contributions to the Campaign will help to establish a cash reserve
and provide investment income. Pledges may be spread over three years.
Planned Giving
Many of CONCORA’s listeners have been with us
since our founding, over thirty years ago. Your planned gift to CONCORA is an excellent
way of endowing your annual gift, so that generations to come may enjoy the fine music
that you treasure in your own lifetime. Planned giving is a way to ensure a strong future
for CONCORA, as a leader in the Greater Hartford arts community. All planned gifts will
be invested in the Fund for the Future.
