Make a Gift of Music
Your support is critical to our future.
Revenue from ticket sales cover less than half the cost of presenting the very best in world-class music. More than 75% of every season is made possible by generous gifts.
For over a century, exceptional musicians have shared their artistry with the Princeton community. These rich musical experiences might seem inevitable—but they aren’t. We need your help to broaden our musical offerings, and keep music affordable for ever-widening audiences.

Special Thanks to Our Donors
We remain eternally grateful for the extraordinary vision of two ladies: Philena Fobes and Jesse Peabody Frothingham, whose generous endowments, raised by the Ladies’ Musical Committee and left to PUC in 1929, help to fund our series. We are grateful to the many individuals who continue that legacy by making gifts at all levels to ensure that musical performance remains a vital part of our local and surrounding community. The list below acknowledges gifts received between January 1, 2026 and September 21, 2026.
