The Encore Circle honors those who have included Colburn in their estate plans. By making a planned gift, you help ensure that future generations of young artists continue to have access to the excellence and opportunity that define Colburn.
Colburn has been honored to be designated beneficiary of several estates, and we are always grateful to extend these legacy gifts to future generations. It is especially meaningful to hear what inspires our planned gift donors, like these recent remarks:
“Getting to know and support the students has been truly inspiring. Through my planned gift, I know I’ll always be part of this mission to help more young people share their music and bring inspiration to the world.” – Mimi Rotter
“To see and hear the exquisite achievements of the Colburn students, and the equally exquisite care with which they’re prepared for their own lives and careers in music, moves me beyond words. The same care permeates every aspect of the School’s operations and programs. Colburn is an oasis of beauty in today’s world, and I’m proud to help assure that it endures long into the future.” – Erica Clark
