Friends of the Fisk are a key part of the “ECMAEF family” that has virtual ownership of Opus 126. The East Carolina Musical Arts Education Foundation is a key player in helping St. Paul's Episcopal Church ensure the well-being of this magnificent instrument. The Artistic Director oversees the regular maintenance and tuning that is required, and we monitor the environment in which the instrument is housed. We also anticipate long term, scheduled major maintenance and plan our finances accordingly. By becoming one of our Friends, you participate in the care of the Fisk by virtue of your financial support, as well as contributing to its place in East Carolina's wider cultural scene. Our programs consist of concerts and workshops designed to educate - as well as entertain - our patrons. Your financial support will help ensure our ability to fund the kind of programs that we plan to bring to Greenville each music season.
Opus 126 is the cornerstone of East Carolina University’s sacred music program. In fact, part of the rationale for building this instrument was to enable students – future church musicians – to learn the complex techniques associated with playing a pipe organ of this caliber. With the training that they receive at ECU, graduates from the music school’s organ studio enter the world of church music with all the skills necessary to begin their careers. We believe that we have a responsibility to continue doing our part to ensure their success. Whilst your financial support does not directly fund these students, it does help to insure the optimal performance of the Fisk.
Becoming a Friend places your name on our secure mailing list, thus enabling us to keep you fully informed about the musical events that we are planning. Benefits also include receptions just for our Friends, and special seating at select concerts. Friends are listed in each event program. The East Carolina Musical Arts Education Foundation is a 501(c) 3 not for profit organization and all contributions are fully tax deductible. We value our Friends at all levels of support:
Supporter: ($25-$99)
Donor: ($100-$499)
Patron: ($500-$999)
Sustainer: ($1,000 and above)
