What if you could totally change the Tracy Powers Concert Hall experience for your family and for everyone at Powers with a single donation?
If we raise $25,000 on top of our 2025 Annual fund goal this fall, you can!
This past year, Powers was fortunate to have received an acoustic analysis of our concert hall by University of Hartford Acoustics, who made two recommendations we’d like to implement:
- A portable, adjustable bandshell to help performers hear themselves more clearly and play more confidently.
- Fabric-wrapped acoustic panels installed on the ceiling and rear wall to control background noise and reverberation so audiences can appreciate every note.
An anonymous donor has already promised to match up to half of the $25,000 project cost, if we raise the other half. This work could be started on January 2 and be done in two months!
Would you please make a gift to our acoustic project in addition to your Annual Fund gift today?

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.
