Silent Auction: Talea at 15!

We are hosting a silent auction in honor of Talea's 15th anniversary season! Our musicians, board, and staff have generously donated items for the auction, from food and drink to private lessons to a house concert. The auction opens on Thursday, May 30th, 2024 at 6:30 PM ahead of our Encores: 15th Anniversary Celebration concert at the Church of St. Paul and St. Andrew. It closes at the end of the weekend on June 2nd at 11:59 PM EST.

All funds raised from this auction benefit Talea's operations and upcoming projects. Your support especially helps to fuel our early career artist development initiatives and our ambitious, explorative self-produced programs. For a small, artist-powered organization like Talea, every contribution truly makes a difference. For example, $100-$200 allows us to make a podcast and offer a professional development session for early career composers. $200-$500 goes a long way in helping us to rent/license music. $500-$1000 can underwrite part or all of a musician's work for a concert. $2000 covers expenses for an entire commission in our early career composers program. Every dollar counts in helping Talea create the impact we want to see on our community of musicians, composers, and audiences.

Your auction payment is not tax deductible (because goods or services are exchanged). However, we WILL recognize you as a donor for the 2024/25 season, and you'll be eligible for the following giving level benefits:

Friend (up to $50)

Recognition in programs for 2024/25 season (if desired)
