"Hitting All 12 Notes": Supporting Heartland Marimba's 12th Season
Contribute to our 12th Season Fundraiser and help us meet our goals.
DONATE TODAY!
We'd love your support for the world's only multi-dimensional classical marimba performance organization! Since 2014, Heartland Marimba has produced more than 300 concerts in more than 100 cities around the world. Thousands of children and audiences have experienced educational presentations by HM artists, more than 30 composers have written for HM groups, and at least 30 young artists have been employed by the HMEnsemble — we are focused on the future of the marimba art form!
This season, we're hitting all 12 notes…and then some!
We're thrilled to announce our most ambitious project yet:
— two brand-new albums, releasing over the next two years, featuring 12 standards for marimba quartet and so much more —
None of this happens without you. Your support keeps our performances vibrant, our education programs thriving, and our music reaching communities that might never otherwise experience it.
Every gift — at every level — moves us closer to this next chapter.
Ready to hit all 12 notes with us?
