Live Music

Our Fundraising Goal for this year - $15,000

Most people don’t realize that tickets sales make up, on average, only about 20% of our annual operating budget. There’s A LOT that goes into producing just one of our concerts, as we seek to bring you the highest quality event possible, not to mention essential year-round operating costs. Some of the common expenses, aside from performance and transportation fees for musicians, include things like venue rental, event insurance, online subscription services for things like our website, domain, and email management, piano rentals/cartage/tunings, paid tech contractors for concerts, and much more. Your donation, of any size, is essential for assuring our continued success.

Each year, Clayton Piano Festival presents outstanding concert pianists and other musical artists, both local and visiting musicians from all around the world, transforming the cultural landscape of Johnston County and beyond with unique concert experiences. Through interactive presentations for schools and special needs groups, accessible, entertaining, and educational public events, and hybrid online/live events integrating live performance, stimulating discussions, and audience Q & A, CPF aims to bridge the gap between performer and audience, bringing great music to people of all ages and levels of exposure to classical music and the arts. It is only through the generous contributions of people like you that all of this is made possible!
