$50,000 Prior Challenge

THANK YOU so very much!!! We met our match, the $50,000 is in the bank!!!!!

Kneisel Hall gives the most heartfelt thanks to Neil and Trudie Prior and all the 707 donors who helped us meet the challenge!

The fund-raising challenge to which the Priors provided the lead gift was an innovative one. It hinged on the ability of Kneisel ‘s development capabilities to garner, more individual donations by year’s end than it had raised in any other year. And they did - the students, the alums, the faculty, the board, the friends, the subscribers and parents - all sent in donations that testify to their love of chamber music and their commitment to a healthy financial future for Kneisel Hall.


2009 ended solidly in the black and looking to 2010. The work that is done on Kneisel Hall campus each summer depends on you. Every gift counts, large or small. Help us keep the momentum going and together we will achieve the goal of a secure Kneisel Hall.
