We are deeply grateful for your generosity, which empowers the outstanding musicians we serve. Each year our roster artists perform hundreds of concerts around the country and beyond, take part in robust educational and community engagement opportunities, and grow as citizen artists. Your support, combined with the work of the organization's administrative team, propels their launches to significant, meaningful, long-term careers. 

“Becoming part of the CAG community in various capacities since the 90’s allowed me to surround myself with the universal language of music served up by insanely-talented young players. It has been thrilling to support CAG’s hallmark identification and encouragement of these musicians as they fearlessly incorporate classical training with contemporary idioms, introducing a world-wide diversity of timbres, instruments, solo and ensemble playing. The organization secures indissoluble personal and artistic bonds from which we all profit.”

— Denise Dailey, Author and Former Board Chair, CAG

“I really believe in what CAG does. It is not unusual to be a talented musician, but it is practically impossible to exhibit that talent. CAG helps open opportunities for emerging talent to thrive.” 

— Lilian Leong, President, Boffi USA

We recognize the following individuals, foundations, and government agencies who have generously provided CAG support between January 1st, 2024 and December 31st, 2024. This support plays a critical role in advancing our mission to discover, nurture, and promote young musicians.
