Your donations at work

It is no secret that the pandemic proved particularly difficult for non-profits, and it is only now that matters are returning to what we like to call the new normal.  Still, all of us at the Alexander & Buono Foundation consider ourselves fortunate to have maintained donors who have been responsible for our being able to return to Carnegie Hall this year for the Winners’ Recital of our Piano and String Competitions, in addition to the Sixteenth Annual ABC Gala Concert on November 10, 2024. 

Thanks to you, we were able to offer a block of complimentary tickets to students of Sacred Heart Academy in the Bronx so that they could attend the Winners’ Recital of our Piano and String Competitions at Carnegie Hall. 

Thanks to you, we were able to underwrite the East Coast tour of the United States for Rupert Egerton-Smith, whom critics hailed as “a pianist and musician of the highest calibre. 

Thanks to you, we were able to provide Nana Miyoshi with New York concerts and recording sessions that gave her opportunities to hone her craft, as well as to bring her back to the stage for another performance at Carnegie Hall as part of this year’s ABC Gala Concert. 

Thanks to you, we are able to give flutist Silvia Schiaffino her Carnegie Hall debut as part of this year’s ABC Gala Concert, as well as a concert at the Columbus Citizens Foundation.

We are extremely grateful for your ongoing support, and ask that you continue to donate as part of our efforts to help artists launch and sustain their careers. 

This year’s Gala Concert promises to be our best ever.  We will also be continuing our support of artists with concerts and scholarships, while actively seeking out engagements for them with orchestras and performing arts organizations throughout the world. 

As is always the case, our efforts rely on your generous donations, and we could not do this without you. We hope that you will not only continue to support our work, but also share news of our accomplishments with your friends and colleagues in an effort to grow support.

Thank you. We are nothing if not grateful.
