Friends of the Conservatory

Support music education in your community

Lynn University’s Friends of the Conservatory of Music supports high-quality music education through fundraising and community outreach.

Since 2003, the Friends have raised more than $10 million to support scholarships.

Annual gifts and ticket purchases for special events help meet the immediate needs of music performance students.

We're grateful for your friendship and financial support. Friends of the Conservatory members receive:

The best seats in the house with opportunities to purchase tickets in advance
Reminders about upcoming shows
Two free concerts and invitations to members-only Friendship Tea
