Triple your Impact
We are humbled and grateful to share that we have been given two incredibly generous donations. For this Hudson Valley Gives, longtime supporters and concertgoers Bill and Candy Davies and an anonymous donor have agreed to match your donations 2 to 1 up to $10,000. That means your gift of $25 will equal $75. When donations reach $10,000, that will total a $30,000 gift to the HVSO!
Challenge Grant
Another extraordinary donation will be made when we reach the $30,000 goal. An anonymous donor will automatically unlock another $20,000. These gifts are truly transformational for the HVSO!

Nanette Koch, cello
Former Education Director of the Hudson Valley Philharmonic
“The joys are many: having a built-in outlet for my creative energies (where else do you go to "work" and call it "play"?); working together with a fine group of students to find the best ways to explain new concepts or refresh old ones; finding ways to present new programs in our schools and finding foundations and corporations able to fund them. I look forward to the time when every single school in the Hudson Valley will be able to have groups from the HVSO visiting on a regular basis, playing side by side with the students in concerts, performing for school assemblies, or being used as a resource by music teachers and students."
