As we approach the close of our fiscal year on September 30, we’re reflecting with gratitude on the young artists who have shaped our community. Their summers at Heifetz are part of a legacy that will soon reach an extraordinary milestone: in 2026, the Heifetz Institute will celebrate its 30th Anniversary Season.

In the past three decades, our alumni have gone on to become world-class performers, dedicated teachers, and prize-winning competition laureates. Even those who have chosen careers outside of music carry the discipline, creativity, and spirit of communication they cultivated at Heifetz into every field they pursue. From the first bow stroke in 1996 to the inspiring performances we share today, the Heifetz mission has always been clear: to train the next generation of communicative musicians, and to bring their artistry to audiences far and wide.

As we prepare for our 30th anniversary, your gift before September 30 will:
· Provide scholarships for gifted young musicians
· Sustain the faculty mentorship that sets Heifetz apart
· Support the unique public performances that define the Heifetz summer experience

Your generosity today ensures the next generation of musicians can share in the same transformative opportunities. Please join us in making this a September to Remember—and in building toward the next 30 years of Heifetz.
