About the Crescendo Operating Fund

Thank you for your generous gift to the Ellis Marsalis Center for Music.

Your support directly impacts the children in our Youth Music Education Program, provides opportunities for adult musicians, and strengthens the Ninth Ward community. A gift to our general operating fund allows us to purchase and repair instruments, hire skilled instructors and staff, and offer essential supplemental services that make our program truly special.

On behalf of the musicians, students, and the entire community, thank you for your generosity!
