Become part of this exciting concert series that presents the best of classical music! The mission of The Furuya Sisters Concert Series is to promote classical music – so that it can be heard by anybody in the public – and to spread the understanding and love of this great music. Your gift will be used toward defraying operational costs, including venue rentals, artists performance fees, administration, publicity, and audio-visual media costs. We are not officially a nonprofit organization, so your membership dues will not be tax-deductible; it will be a gift to promote classical music.

Thank you to all Members for the year 2015! Thanks to you, we had a most successful annual season of concertizing, culminating in our performance at The White House in December 2015.
The First Lady Michelle Obama wrote in the official thank-you letter to the Furuya Sisters:
“The President and I are so grateful for your wonderful performance.” (Jan. 2016)

We'd LOVE to have you JOIN US and become Members for 2016!

Become part of this exciting concert series that is attracting great media and public attention, and interest of both governors of New York and New Jersey, among many others! If you feel that your home/mansion is suitable for a concert venue, you can host a concert for The Furuya Sisters Concert Series.

Transform your home into a concert hall with world-class performers! Revel in a world-renowned performance in the intimacy of your own home!

- one grand piano in good condition and tuned, preferably a Steinway grand
- the space can be a salon-style room or as large as any concert hall (it should seat minimum 40 people comfortably)

Responsibilities of a concert host:

- helping publicize the concert and cooperate in all publicity efforts
- reception - Optional

Sponsor a Concert

A private individual or a corporate entity can sponsor a concert of The Furuya Sisters Concert Series. A concert sponsor typically provides or rents a concert hall and takes care of all publicity and administration for the concert. If the concert hall is outside of the NY-NJ-CT Tri-State Area, the concert sponsor will also provide transportation and lodging & food (if artists agree to travel to that destination). The concert sponsor will pay the artists the concert fee, which is typically a set fee plus a percentage of the ticket sales. As a thank you for sponsoring a concert, your name and/or company will be listed as a sponsor on our website and in all publicity for that concert. If you are interested in sponsoring a concert and becoming our partner, please email sponsor@furuyasisters.com or call 914-200-3622.
