Yes! We will miss you at the gala, but we appreciate your support!

Where is the money going?

Proceeds from this event will support Sputter Box’s 2023-2024 season, including commissions, unique concert experiences, and touring expenses. All of the funds raised for our concert seasons go directly towards commissioning composers and artists to create new works, production costs to premiere these works and give multiple performances to previously-commissioned works, and travel costs to bring our repertoire to new places. In the past, we have used funds to commission composers and artists including Daijana Wallace, Kakia Gkoudina, John Ling, Allison McIntosh, Mattia Maurée, & Pampi. These funds have also allowed us to play at venues in New York City, including Brooklyn Conservatory of Music, Shapeshifter Lab, Scholes Street Studio, Astoria Art House, and Areté. We have been able to travel to residencies and festivals such as the University of Florida, University of Massachusetts at Amherst, Minnesota Fringe Festival, and Avaloch Farm Music Institute. Funds for our upcoming season will help us increase our commissioning fees for composers, expand our audience and touring schedule, and keep our ticket prices low so our local concerts can remain accessible to New Yorkers.

A gala? Isn’t that fancy? What should I wear!?

Dressing up is encouraged, but not required! Make a night of it! We will be wearing gowns and a suit, but wear whatever makes you comfortable!
