Advancing Excellence. Inspiring Artists. Transforming Communities.

Every extraordinary performance begins with someone who believed in possibility.


Friends of the Bailey School of Music brings together patrons and advocates who believe in the transformative power of music. Through their generosity, talented students gain access to exceptional instruction, inspiring mentorship, meaningful performance opportunities and the resources to pursue their highest aspirations. Together, Friends help shape the artists, educators and cultural leaders who will carry music forward.

Your belief can be the beginning of what comes next.

Together, Friends of Music creates opportunities by:

  • Expanding opportunities for students to perform, create, and excel
  • Connecting students with accomplished artists, educators, and industry professionals
  • Supporting scholarships, guest artists, travel, and transformative educational experiences
  • Building lasting relationships between the Bailey School of Music and the broader community
  • Advancing artistic excellence and cultural impact throughout our region

When you become a Friend of Music, you're not just supporting a program. You're helping shape the future of music.
