Support the Pro Musica International Choral Festival

More than a decade ago, Albany Pro Musica Board Chair Dr. Karen R. Hitchcock and newly appointed Artistic Director Dr. José Daniel Flores-Caraballo shared a vision: to extend Albany Pro Musica’s educational mission through a musical experience unlike any other. That vision took shape with the generous encouragement of Dr. Isabel Bader, a longtime friend of Dr. Hitchcock, whose seed funding launched what would become the Pro Musica International Choral Festival.

Access to world-class choral education

Bader Philanthropies, Inc. has been the Festival’s founding and sustaining partner from the beginning. Their support made it possible to offer every student in our inaugural 2023 cohort — and again in 2025 — a fully funded experience: tuition, room, and board, at no cost. We are proud to share that Bader Philanthropies has renewed their commitment for the 2027 Festival, ensuring that this transformative opportunity remains accessible to all 150 participating students, regardless of financial means.

Albany Pro Musica is deeply grateful to the foundation, corporate, and individual donors whose generosity makes the Festival possible. Because of their support, students arrive ready to learn, create, and connect — without barriers. The result is an experience that is not only musically exceptional, but genuinely life-changing.

If you believe, as we do, that every young singer deserves access to world-class choral education, we invite you to join us. Your gift advances that mission — and helps ensure that the Pro Musica International Choral Festival continues to inspire the next generation of musicians for years to come.
