Admission to our concerts is by donation only (we suggest a very reasonable $15.00, student/senior $10.00). By “by donation only,” we mean that we ask you to kindly make a donation of any size, but preferably of at least the recommended minimum size if you can afford it, in order to help us continue to present these concerts. Donations: Please feel encouraged to make a donation to Musica Bella, in addition to your donation at the door. You may donate as much — or as little — as you want; every penny is appreciated. It’s really not too dramatic to say that our very survival depends on your generosity, since putting on these concerts is incredibly expensive. For more details, click here or on the “Donations” link on the left of any page. Please note that your donation is tax-deductible, as Musica Bella is a 501(c)(3) organization.

Listen to a brief recording of The Musica Bella Orchestra in rehearsal or concert! We’re sorry that nothing new has been added recently—but we hope that will change soon, when we can find the spare time to do it. We plan to add excerpts from some of the symphonies and concertos that we performed in the last couple of seasons, and we’ll even add two complete Mozart overtures! Or purchase CDs of historical recordings from William R. Trotter’s Web site. Or listen to classical music (whatever is being broadcast right now) on one of these great radio stations while you explore Musica Bella’s Web site!
