Thank you to our loyal supporters
The Klein Competition has benefited from the generosity of individuals, businesses and foundations who believe in the power of music and the strength of young musicians. These donors to the California Music Center help provide the opportunity of a lifetime for young musicians, for which we are enormously grateful.
California Music Center gratefully acknowledges the generosity of all of our donors. These gifts and pledges were received from May 5, 2022 through May 5, 2023. We apologize for any errors or omissions – please contact us for corrections.
