Donate
Help us keep the music going with your donation today. Individual donations help power our weekly music classes at 18 sites across the city of Houston.
Recurring donations are especially helpful for sustaining consistent, high-quality programming.
Donors who give $500 or more annually become part of our Ambassador program and receive special recognition on our website, in publications, and at events.
In Fall 2025, we launched our Prelude Alumni Ambassador Program, a special opportunity for families who have been part of our community through our sister organization, Prelude Music Classes for Children. Visit the program link below to learn more.
Attend an Event
We host several events during the year to prepare materials for our program sites and to raise critical funds for our program.
Our biggest fundraiser of the year is our annual Luncheon, where our program staff and leadership share highlights from our program year and share an inspiring look inside our program. Our 2026 Luncheon will be Thursday 2/26 at the Junior League of Houston; learn more on our Events page.
We also host additional events featuring our friends from Mercury Chamber Orchestra. In 2025, our Vivaldi in the Garden event welcomed more than 40 people to an enchanting backyard concert featuring selections from Vivaldi and Piazzolla.
Our end-of-year concert at Miller Outdoor Theatre brings more than 4,000 people together for a free, hourlong concert for the 2,600+ preschool children in our program and for all families in the Greater Houston community.
Our annual Summer Institute unites our team of music specialists with 40+ early childhood educators from our program sites for a two-day intensive professional development experience about integrating music into daily classroom practice.
These events raise funds and build community and they are critical components of our program year.

Host An Event
Extraordinary things happen when people gather to make music. In the past, generous families have hosted intimate gatherings at their homes where professional musicians play and we share our program's story.
If you'd like to host such an event for your family and friends, please email Director of Operations Margaret Owen at margaret@preludechild.com.
