Sponsorship opportunities
EMF audience members and patrons are well-educated with significant disposable income; many are business leaders and key decision makers in our community.
EMF students/young artists range in age from 14-22 and are interested in a variety of music-related experiences, including bachelors and masters degrees. They are often accompanied by parents or family members who are also interested in continuing education opportunities for their students.
