$3,000 Goal

Mount Vernon Music's five strategies to fulfill our mission:
- Community Concerts with the highest quality in programming of live chamber music.
- Youth Outreach includes in-school clinics by expert players, and age-tailored programs of original musical stories with visual art and narration.
- Musical Lifelines brightens the lives of people in long-term care facilities with performances by professional musicians.
- Scholarship Assistance for Young Musicians has awarded more than $38,000 to talented youth.
- Commissioning and Publishing of compelling new works creates new opportunities for musical experience.
Since Mount Vernon Music receives support from donors throughout the DFW area and beyond, each year we bring encore performances of our regular subscription concerts to venues throughout the metroplex. In the 2025-2026 season, this includes concerts in Dallas, Arlington and Fort Worth.
