About Us2

Facebook Twitter Instagram Donate About Us Our Mission InterMusic SF is dedicated to sustaining and nourishing the Bay Area creative environment by offering dynamic programming and vital resources for music creators and audience members. Our Vision San Francisco Bay Area communities of artists and audiences thrive in a vibrant musical climate. Empowered and engaged creators bring people together to provide opportunities for shared experiences of music, fostering communication and unity. InterMusic SF champions artists from diverse musical traditions and serves as a trusted advocate for the shifting needs of the creative community. Our Values We believe that… Everyone should have equitable access to world-class musical experiences. Musical experiences promote cultural connections, encourage community engagement, and provide pathways for a deeper commitment to civic arts for artists and audiences. Music creators and presenters face financial barriers to build accomplished careers and require professional development tools and financial services for sustainability. Built to Help Our Services Fiscal Sponsorship The Fiscal Sponsorship Program (FSP) supports, nurtures, and advocates for emerging and established professional ensembles, individuals, and organizations who share InterMusic SF's commitment to the advancement of small ensemble music as an art form. SF Music Day Our annual music festival celebrates the Bay Area music community and engages local audiences to explore and savor the diverse range of music being made in our region. Artist Development Through fiscal sponsorship, career guidance workshops, and consultations, we create pathways to obtain sustainable careers in music and nurture professional development. Musical Grant Program The MGP awards project grants to support the creative musical activity of San Francisco Bay Area performers, composers, and presenters whose projects focus specifically on music for the small ensemble. Our Story In 1998, three longtime San Francisco Bay Area music patrons, Jane Roos Le Roux, Jane Galante and Barbara Barclay, recognized that while ensemble music contributes significantly to the cultural life of the Bay Area, professional groups generally lack the tools and staffing for audience development; and because most are not tax-exempt entities, they are rarely in the position to garner the contributed support that organizations in other disciplines receive. The founders saw a distinct need for a local service organization to support this art form in the Bay Area, and launched the San Francisco Friends of Chamber Music (SFFCM). Now called InterMusic SF, the organization has grown significantly in ambition and impact since its founding and supports hundreds of diverse ensembles creating music in the genres of jazz, classical, world inspired, and new music.
