Dear Friends of ABF, 

This year for our Sixteenth Annual ABC Gala Concert, the artists presented performed to a sold out house. We received donations from all around the world, and day after day notes of thanks and congratulations continue to inspire us. 

Our work is the direct result of your generosity, and the value you place on the role of classical music in our daily lives as both a force for good and a balm for our spirits.  The amazing artists with whom we are privileged to work every day reflect our commitment to seeing that their years of focus, dedication, and commitment are rewarded with the opportunity for them to be heard and appreciated by audiences around the world, in ways their talents so richly deserve.

Even with this year’s event behind us we ask that you give generously to our fundraising initiatives on their behalf for the future.  Whether we are bringing you concerts from the stages of Carnegie Hall, helping to produce recordings, or simply underwriting lessons, our work is a direct reflection of your support and enthusiasm for our mission to launch and sustain the careers—and dreams—of artists like those who participated in this year’s Gala Concert. 

We ask that you accept our heartfelt thanks, even as we ask you to continue your support of our work.

Sincerely,
