Discover how you can enhance and support the future of our Philharmonia Baroque Orchestra & Chorale. Planned gifts allow you to support Philharmonia’s long-term fiscal stability. Examples of planned gifts include a bequest in your will or trust and naming Philharmonia as a beneficiary of your retirement fund.

All planned gift donors enjoy the benefits of membership in the Laurette Goldberg Society, named in honor of the founding music director of Philharmonia Baroque. Through special activities, the Laurette Goldberg Society honors its members by enhancing their appreciation of music and their sense of belonging to the Philharmonia family.

Laurette Goldberg Society

The Laurette Goldberg Society, named after Philharmonia’s founder, honors individuals who have named Philharmonia in their estate plans. Philharmonia is pleased to accept planned gifts of any size. Planned gifts may be designated to support Philharmonia’s Annual Fund and/or Endowment.

Philharmonia Endowment

By providing a steady, stable downbeat, Philharmonia’s Endowment plays a vital role in providing financial support that furthers Philharmonia’s mission.
