Make a donation

Avant Media is here to make opportunities for artists to push their own boundaries. Our donors make this dream a reality.

We encourage composers to take chances with how their work is presented, to explore facets of their work that would otherwise go unexplored. Over the years we have helped many artists take the next step in their work, planting the seed for exciting new chapters of creation.

When you make a tax-deductible donation to Avant Media it shows your commitment to risk-taking art in all its forms, and directly supports the artists making this work happen. You'll also receive a bunch of great benefits for a year from the date of your donation.

It's because of donors like you that great art can happen on this scale, and because of you we can keep our ticket prices low and make sure our artists are paid for their work.

Benefit Levels

A donation of any level helps support our new season of programming. With access to member-rate tickets and special invitations for one year from the date of your donation. Our donors are the reason we are able to commission new works, to produce large-scale events, and to continue to push the boundaries of live performance.
