Our growth brings communities together and serves to galvanize classical music enthusiasts and newcomers, alike, in the context of our inspirational performances so that their newly discovered appreciation for classical music can be passed on to future generations for the sake of preserving the artform.
Background Statement
Founded in 2015, KONTRAPUNKTUS has emerged from the Los Angeles and Orange County classical music scene as one of the most promisingly robust chamber orchestras that has won the hearts and minds of audiences over.
Over the last 10 years, KONTRAPUNKTUS has produced more than 70 live performances featuring classical repertoire seldomly performed by rival chamber orchestras or symphony orchestras in Southern California.
Featuring some of the finest young musicians the "classical" world has to offer, many of whom hail from the prestigious Colburn and Juilliard music conservatories and others spanning the continental United States, KONTRAPUNKTUS continues to redefine the conventions of what it means to be a chamber orchestra amid a musical demographic landscape that is getting younger by the day.
Impact Statement
To be a leading classical music ensemble that inspires and connects global audiences through exceptional performances, innovative collaborations, and meaningful community engagement. We envision a world where classical music remains vibrant, relevant, and accessible to all, enriching lives across generations.
Needs Statement
Kontrapunktus is in need of establishing a reliable donor base in Orange County to help subsidize the lack of adequate grant funding that is available in this region. Our ability to consistently attract large turnouts at our Orange County shows proves that there is a burgeoning demand for us.
However, even the program income we generate from box office receipts is not enough to sustain us and we require private donations to subsidize our operating costs as a non-profit performing arts organization.
Geographic Areas Served
Orange County and Los Angeles County.
Top Three Populations Served
- People with Disabilities
- Seniors/Older Adults
- Veterans
