The Henry and Leigh Bienen School of Music is one of the top institutions
of its kind, offering unique opportunities for students to grow both as musicians
and as valuable citizens of tomorrow. Maintaining and evolving these quality
programs, however, depends on outside private and institutional funding. Contributions
to the school make possible scholarships and fellowships, recruiting and retaining
outstanding faculty, nurturing new programs, addressing equipment needs, and
improving facilities.
A contribution to the Bienen School of Music may take many
forms. For further information on any of the programs listed below, please
contact Oliver Ionita, Director of Development for the Bienen
School of Music, at 847-491-7154 or at oliver-ionita@northwestern.edu.

by providing the flexibility to address the School's essential, day-to-day
needs.
