Phillips Music
Support this Washington tradition by making a contribution to Phillips Music.
For more than 80 years, Phillips Music has been a highlight of Washington’s cultural life, presenting exceptional young musicians alongside an international roster of recognized performers in the intimate, art-filled setting of the museum’s Music Room.
Sunday Concerts offer imaginative programming of the classics, while the Leading International Composers series guarantees continued vitality and vibrancy with the best of new music. Ticket income alone does not cover the cost of a season, and Phillips Music relies on the generosity of our valued supporters to ensure the success of our concerts.
