Making a Difference
We are grateful for the generosity of our amazing community. Thank you.
To honor Ben's musical talents and focus, his family has chosen to create the Ben Faigin Music Opportunity Fund to support under-represented, low-income teen musicians.
This fund provides grants to nonprofits for music education programs, financial aid and scholarships to youth orchestras plus support of chamber music camps.
