Sponsor a Musician

Musician Sponsorship is a personal way to make a connection with the individual artists of the Carmel Bach Festival. Your sponsorship helps provide essential support and creates a unique experience for you.  Many sponsors find this to be one of the most rewarding aspects of the program—a chance to personally welcome a musician to Carmel and build a relationship that deepens their experience of the Festival.
