MISSION STATEMENT:
Caramoor Center for Music and the Arts – a unique Westchester County setting of Italianate architecture and gardens – enriches the lives of its audiences through innovative and diverse musical performances of the highest quality, mentors young professional musicians, and engages young children through interactive, educational experiences that deepen their relationship to and understanding of music. SUPPORT CARAMOOR'S MISSION
As a tax-deductible charity, Caramoor depends on your donations to support our mission. Ticket sales cover only a percentage of the costs associated with presenting exciting, year-round musical performances.
In addition Caramoor incurs the costs of our young artist mentoring programs, our arts-in-education programs for students, maintaining the historic Rosen House and its exemplary collection, as well as the 90 acres of beautiful Italianate gardens.
Please give a gift to support one of the region’s cultural treasures, and enjoy an enhanced
connection to Caramoor and all it has to offer!
All patrons who contribute $75 or more in a year become members and receive benefits at their
