Funding Structure

The VMC depends for funding (for guest artists, scholarships, young-professional training, event-production costs, ensemble travel, and all other programming) upon a network of supporters. Campus, public, corporate, non-profit, and private donors all play essential roles.

All guest artist concerts and master-classes are free & open to the campus and community.

Receipts from ticketed events (the Celtic Christmas, Dancing with Mr Darcy, Soirees and House Concerts, for example) are 100% allocated to support of VMC programming.
