The invaluable instruction and performance opportunities provided by
Ravinia’s Steans Music Institute are only possible because of generous
donors. Relying directly on contributions from these dedicated
supporters to fund these vital programs, RSMI provides its participants
with everything they need—from practical housing and meals to
priceless lessons with world-renowned musicians—so that they
can focus fully on their craft. By removing financial considerations,
Ravinia affords RSMI participants an opportunity to learn from top
pedagogues and headlining performers at a critical time in their
career development. We greatly appreciate the donors below who have
contributed $300 or more to RSMI’s annual operating fund between
October 1, 2016, and June 27, 2018, to help bring these programs to life
this summer.
