Overwhelmed by the orchestra

Travelling with the orchestra, getting to know the musicians and meeting other donors – Marga and Rick Donehoo have discovered what it truly means to give to the Concertgebouw Orchestra. In this video, filmed during the orchestra’s tour of Japan in the autumn of 2023, they share their unforgettable experiences with the orchestra since establishing their commemorative fund, the Frances Fund.

Commemorative fund

For those wishing to make a gift with a specific purpose in mind that aligns with the orchestra’s objectives and programmes, a commemorative fund is an ideal and highly personalised form of giving.

A particular instrument or section, the creation of an endowment fund, young talent, the Academy of the Concertgebouw Orchestra, education or new audiences – those looking to establish a commemorative fund can help determine the purpose of their gift to the Concertgebouw Orchestra.

We invite you to review the various commemorative fund giving objectives here and make a real difference with your donation. Virtually all the funds are open to donations from third parties supporting their stated purpose.
