“By supporting the ICO, we join a collective effort to guide its future, to transcend time and ensure that the music we love continues to inspire generations that follow us. The ICO’s music education programs empower children in every aspect of their development. Most of the ICO’s audience experienced robust music programs as school children, but now that music curriculums have been drastically reduced, it’s more important than ever to bring our love of melody, harmony, and rhythm to younger generations.”
-Barb & John
“We want ICO to have a long history and we want to ensure chamber music will be offered for generations to come. We’ve been inspired by ICO embracing diversity and being inclusive, so that everybody feels welcome. We decided to include ICO in our will because we deeply believe in the mission of the ICO which serves our community, welcomes everybody, and stages innovative and well thought out performances for classical masterpieces and new works. The process working with our estate lawyers was straightforward and easy!”
– Christian & Elaine
