Endowment

Chorus


The La Jolla Symphony & Chorus maintains two endowments. Donations can be made directly to an endowment by check or stock transfer. A donation can also be made by sending your check to the LJS&C office and designating the Endowment for which it is intended. For more information on donating to our endowment funds, please call 858-822-3774.

Main Operating Endowment (non-restricted)
Established through a bequest by long-time chorus member Therese Hurst upon her death in 1985, the LJS&C's Main Operating Endowment is its largest and is managed by a professional investment firm.

Thomas Nee Commissioning Endowment (restricted)
Established in 1997 in honor of Music Director Emeritus Tom Nee after 30 years with the LJS&C, an annual distribution is taken from this Endowment to pay for an original composition for orchestra and/or chorus by a UCSD graduate student in music composition to support up-and-coming young composers.
