You may not notice any orange construction barrels, but you probably have seen that we have a slightly different “look.” The Falcone Festival website is undergoing a complete upgrade. The site is now responsive and you should still be able to find everything you are looking for under the menu items, which have not been changed. We are working to make sure everything is still operating properly, with some design changes, and ultimately some upgraded functionality coming, but we may be unavailable off and on until roughly mid-January. We apologize for any inconvenience. If you have an urgent question, feel free to email Jane Goodrich or send a question to the Leonard Falcone International Euphonium & Tuba Festival on Facebook.

Falcone Festival Endowment

The Festival Endowment Fund was initiated in 2005 in order to augment our regular annual operating funds and to secure the financial success of the Festival for many years to come. In the Falcone Festival's initial challenge match in 2012, when an anonymous donor provided an incredible one-for-one matching gift up to a maximum of $35,000, met its goal. The Festival Endowment Fund has now reached a level where its resources will provide valuable support to the operation of the Festival on an annual basis, while continuing to grow. The Festival wishes to sincerely thank all of the contributors to the 2011-12 endowment fund matching funds drive for their support.

Our record of success and growth over more than 30 years would not have been possible without the generous support of our individual donors, corporate advertisers, and sponsors. Since our founding in 1986 we have evolved into the world's premier annual competition for euphonium and tuba! We hope to expand our list of donors to the Festival in order to secure the future of the Festival. Please consider a cash gift. This may be used:

in support of general operating funds
toward building our Festival Endowment Fund
in support of the prize sponsorship and enhancement
toward guest artist sponsorship
toward our next commissioned performance piece to enhance the solo repertoire.

We welcome contributions of any amount! Feel free to speak with any Festival Board Member regarding opportunities to contribute. The Falcone Festival is a 501(c)(3) non profit organization (tax ID # 20-0752701) and your individual contribution is tax deductible to the extent allowed by law.

A donation form can be found here. As always, we welcome your support not only toward our Endowment drive, but also toward general operating funds via unrestricted gifts and designated gifts. Please feel free to contact Phil Sinder, Falcone Festival President, for more information regarding opportunities to contribute to the Festival.
