Lamont Society

WHAT WE DO AT THE LAMONT SCHOOL OF MUSIC IS IMPORTANT.

WHAT YOU DO TO HELP MAKES IT HAPPEN.

The inaugural 2007-2008 year of the Lamont Society was an inspiring story of success.  In just one year we reached a level of more than 400 members whose generosity helps support the excellent students and unique programs of the Lamont School of Music, University of Denver. 

The school also had a banner year for recruitment, and 2008-09 promises to be truly exceptional.

For the general Lamont Society membership, benefits this year will include: “Day at Lamont,” where you will be able to attend classes for one day;“A Tribute to Black Pioneers in Music Performance,” presented by the Lamont Symphony Orchestra followed by an exclusive reception to greet the artists; and a unique faculty concert offered by world-acclaimed virtuosos Kenneth Cox, basso, and Ricardo Iznaola, classical guitar, in a performance of Schubert’s Winterreise. In May 2009, the popular annual Showcase Lamont gala will feature our best students, followed by a most extraordinary reception.

For donors of $500 or more, we have started an exciting new series called “Backstage at Lamont.”  The series will consist of three behind-the-scenes events: “A Newman Center Acoustical Tour”, “Recruiting for Lamont”, and “Backstage at the Opera.”

With your help, our 2008-2009 year will bring in even more members to the Lamont Society, which will result in more support, and more exciting programs for Lamont.  Whether you are renewing your membership or becoming a member for the first time, you will join hundreds of others in our community supporting tomorrow’s musicians today!
