Let’s Do This Together.
Many people may still be feeling like their voice doesn’t matter this season. But this is a problem that in our own small way, we can solve. The lifeline that is always able to make us feel heard and valued, is music. Music increases our capacity to empathize and solve problems together, to express ourselves, take risks, and grow.
That’s what Powers’ new mission and all of our programs do, and why they’re so incredibly important to us all right now. Powers is the place where you matter to someone. It’s the place where you can speak freely and be unapologetically yourself. It’s your other home.
If someone at Powers has ever made you feel that your talents, your voice, or you yourself matter, please donate below to continue the cycle.
Thank you for supporting Powers in this work we do. It’s not just for the beautiful music. It’s for the real people to our left and right.

Remember Powers in Your Will or Trust!
It’s inexpensive, simple, and never too soon to create a will or a trust. You can include Powers in your will or trust by giving a specific dollar amount or percentage of your estate or by leaving a specific asset (stocks, donor-advised funds, retirement accounts, property, even instruments!). If you have an existing will or trust, you can add an amendment or codicil at any time.
(Don’t forget – you can give up to $100,000 from your retirement funds tax-free to charity, which counts towards your Required Minimum Distribution.)
Gifts like these are special for the Powers community because the impact is huge – one gift could provide a faculty member with a full-time role, funds for exciting new programs, or financial aid for several students through their lifetime.
Executive Director Gavin Farrell is available for a confidential conversation if you have questions or want to discuss ideas. Call 617-484-4696 or email gfarrell@powersmusic.org.
