Network for New Music has been dedicated to commissioning and performing new musical works by emerging and established artists of all identities since 1985. We engage audiences with vibrant and thought-provoking musical experiences that challenge and inspire. We are committed to excellent performances, innovative curation, in-depth education programs and cross-genre collaborations, all with the purpose of enriching the cultural life of greater Philadelphia.
A very special way to ensure the future of Network for New Music is by making a legacy gift of whatever amount that feels right to you. In that way you will help grow Network’s endowment fund. The dollars generated by the endowment fund are a critical component of the revenues that enable Network to cover its annual operating costs. Our musicians’ salaries, education and student-ticket program, commissioning fund, and the “second listen” fund that provides opportunities for repeat performances of new works all benefit from Network’s endowment fund. The healthier our endowment fund, the richer our contribution to the cultural life of the community.
