St. Stephen's dedicates significant parish resources to providing an excellent, diverse musical program to our community, but like many non-profit organizations, our pledged income and ticket sales do not cover the full cost. We depend on generous donors to maintain our organ, cover salaries for our music director and section leaders, and promote our concert series. Every donation makes a tremendous difference. All contributions are fully tax-deductible.
