Contributor’s Concert and Reception | Sunday August 11, 2024 (3 pm)
As a thank you for our donors to the 2024-2025 Annual Fund, TCMG is pleased to offer a free concert and reception on Sunday, August 11th,
3 p.m. at the home of Elizabeth Baker & Toby Pugh. This event has limited seats and does fill up quickly, so priority will be given to the early donors of $200 or more to the fund (details here).
Last year’s event was a wonderful and very personal opportunity to spend time with the TCMG family while enjoying a concert by TCMG core musicians who generously donate their beautiful artistry for this special event. We hope you can join us this year and we look forward to seeing you soon!
