Support Classical Music Like Tchaikovsky’s Patron
Nadezhda von Meck understood the value of patronage. Thanks to her, Peter Ilych Tchaikovsky was able to create 13 years worth of masterpieces, works that have given pleasure and enrichment to audiences, right down to the present day. Now that’s a good investment.
We can’t all be as generous as Meck. However, it is possible for all of us to get a taste of what it is like to support great music. Feel good about sustaining a proud legacy. Join WWFM – The Classical Network during the final week of its fiscal year. Help us balance our budget, so that we can go on sharing the music of Tchaikovsky, Bach, Mahler, and all the others. Call 1-888-232-1212 or contribute online at wwfm.org.
Thank you for doing your part to make the world a better place.
