This holiday season, we have an incredible opportunity to make your support go further.

An anonymous donor has generously pledged to match every donation to Music in the Somerset Hills, dollar-for-dollar, up to $10,000 through the end of the year!

That means your gift can have twice the impact, directly supporting our mission to bring music into the lives of our community.

 
 

Musical Impact

This year, the Somerset Hills Chorus has gathered singers from across the region for inspiring performances that bring audiences together in joy, reflection, and celebration. Summer Voices welcomed young singers in grades 2–12, giving them the chance to grow their skills, build confidence, and make lasting friendships through music.​

Our educational offerings now span early childhood classes, summer programs, and scholarship support, ensuring that students at every stage can access high-quality musical experiences. Less than half of our annual expenses are covered by ticket sales and program fees, so these programs are only possible because of donors like you.​

MISH in the Schools

This year, MISH in the Schools has begun partnering with public high school choral programs throughout Somerset County. Teaching artists and clinicians are also partnering with local choir directors to provide mentorship, workshops, and high-level musical experiences directly in students’ classrooms. All of this is offered at no cost to schools or districts!​

Your Giving Tuesday gift helps expand this outreach initiative so that even more students can experience musical excellence where they learn every day. By investing in MISH in the Schools, you are investing in confident, creative young people who will carry music with them for life.

Your Gift Matters Today

Music in the Somerset Hills is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, and contributions of any size make a real difference in keeping programs affordable and accessible. Donor support allows us to maintain ambitious artistic standards while keeping ticket prices and participation fees as low as possible for families and community members.

Please consider making a tax-deductible contribution today to sustain this season’s concerts, grow MISH in the Schools, and ensure that transformative musical experiences remain within reach for all. Your generosity today helps shape a thriving, musically rich future for the Somerset Hills.

 
 
 

Our mission is to create musical experiences of the highest quality for those who live and work in the Somerset Hills and its surroundings. Founded on the belief that music can transport us and enhance the quality of life within communities, we work to curate performances and educational opportunities that positively impact the lives of people from all walks of life. None of this would be possible without the help of our generous community members.

Help us continue and expand upon our mission of fostering a musically rich, diverse, and accessible cultural landscape in the Somerset Hills region!
