B ecoming a Lamont Society donor will enrich both you and the education of our talented students. Lamont patrons continue to change lives and help our students to achieve their dreams, and by doing so, share in the future of the arts. You will be invited to donor appreciation events such as Day at Lamont and Showcase Lamont, but more importantly, you

will support Lamont, a dynamic place with extraordinary people doing exciting things. I hope you will join or renew your membership and consider increasing your contribution. Thank you for being a vital and indispensable part of the Lamont family!

Nancy CochranDirector, Lamont School of Music

When you join the Lamont Society, your donation is pooled with those of your fellow members to support the Lamont School of Music. Under the able guidance of Director Nancy Cochran, these funds help to bring in world-class musicians for recitals and master classes, purchase specialty instruments, and send students to

music academies and competitions. As a result of this support, you are privileged to see and hear, first hand, the effects of your generosity. Equally important, you will frequently have the opportunity to meet, and be sincerely thanked by, the young men and women who are beneficiaries of your participation. This connection between Lamont Society members and students in the School of Music is one of the features that make our work so meaningful.

Steve JohnsonPresident, Lamont Society

I have been blessed so many times by your enthusiasm for music—it is always a post-performance highlight to see your smiling faces!Josiah Hamill, violin (BM,'16), performing at Showcase Lamont

Thank you for encouraging us to strive toward our dreams and for being loving audiences for our performances. Those few uplifting words you say to us can really make a difference not just in our day, or even week, but potentially our careers.We all love you!Victoria Minton, soprano, (BM,'17),performing in the Lamont Chorale
