Join the Community

The Klein Competition depends upon the generosity of individuals and foundations to produce the Klein and its other programs. Its founding organization, the California Music Center, is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization (tax ID 51-0138643), and gifts are tax-deductible in accordance with the law.

Our community of donors includes classical music enthusiasts, parents of Klein prizewinners, educators, professional and amateur string players, and others who support the work that we do to nurture the careers of young musicians. We also welcome additions to our home hosts – a dedicated core of families and individuals that open their homes to Klein Semifinalists each June.

For those loyal supporters who want to make a legacy gift to sustain the Klein for years to come, please consider becoming a member of the Elaine Klein Society.

And don’t miss our annual Strings a la carte, our festive and fun concert gala to raise funds for the Klein!
