Support

Accessibility is a core values at LAMF and each concert we present is offered for free or with name-your-price ticketing in order to remove economic barriers for anyone interested in experiencing our world-class performances. Through grassroots financial support we invite a diverse audience to participate and attend, while maintaining the very highest level of artistic performance. This crowd-funding model invites you to put a value on our mission and give each time you come to a LAMF concert.

We invite you to make your tax-deductible donation to support our 2022 season today!
