The May Festival has been going strong for nearly 150 years because of the generosity of our community. The Festival is why we have Music Hall and the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra. Give today in any amount and join that legacy—one that endures and continues to do so much good.

Contributions Support...

: Supporting the May Festival is a nod to the history, traditions, and values that shaped Cincinnati’s vibrant performing arts industry and made the region what it is today. The May Festival has been here from the beginning, establishing the Queen City’s identity as the City that Sings.

Your gift to the May Festival Annual Fund ensures that participation in Cincinnati's Chorus remains cost free for everyday people from our community; supports our community and learning initiatives to reach tomorrow's musicians today; and guarantees that our tradition of creating and performing new music continues year after year.
: To celebrate the May Festival’s 150th Anniversary, help us reach our goal to raise $150,000 this year to provide FREE May Festival concert tickets to our community’s choir students in perpetuity. Every gift of $300 covers a student ticket at every future May Festival.

With your support, we will guarantee that 100 seats at every May Festival performance – 5% of every future audience – are filled with young singers from across our region.
