Join us in Celebrating 130 Years of Music at Illinois: 130 Gifts for 130 Years!
For 130 years, the School of Music at Illinois has been a place where music creates connection. From student ensembles to professional performances, from classrooms to communities, music brings people together, inspires creativity, and deepens understanding.
This May 4th Giving Day, we’re celebrating that legacy by inviting you to support the next generation of musicians. Our goal is 130 gifts in honor of 130 Years of Music at Illinois.
Your gift today supports:
- Student Scholarships
- Bringing guest artists or composers to campus
- Replacement of equipment and instruments
- Student travel and conference opportunities
- Facility improvements
- And countless other ways
Whether you're an alum, a proud parent, a music lover, or a friend of the arts, your gift keeps our legacy strong and provides support to the 700+ students majoring or minoring in music.
🎯 Join us and give now to be part of something that connects us all and continues to inspire MUSIC at ILLINOIS!
