We’re passionate about bringing the vibrant rhythms of Brazilian percussion to Madison!
Our goal is to foster a deep appreciation for this rich musical tradition while creating a welcoming community for musicians and music lovers alike.
Your tax-deductible financial contribution can help us continue to thrive and grow!
Here’s how your donation can make a difference:
Bringing Brazilian Masters to Madison
We are dedicated to inviting master drummers from Brazil to share both traditional and innovative musical styles with our community. These guest artists not only perform but also conduct workshops, offering invaluable learning experiences for our members and the wider community.
Supporting Educational Opportunities
Your donation helps provide travel stipends for our members who seek educational opportunities outside of Madison. This allows them to bring back new skills and inspirations to share with the group and our audiences.
Recording Original Music
The Handphibians are constantly composing and developing new music. Your support helps us record these original compositions, preserving and sharing our unique sound with a broader audience.
Making Membership Accessible
We strive to make participation in The Handphibians accessible to everyone. Donations help cover monthly dues for members who may otherwise be unable to afford them, ensuring that financial constraints do not hinder anyone from joining our musical community.
Maintaining Our Instruments
Our instruments are the heart of our performances. Your contribution helps us maintain and repair our percussion instruments, keeping them in top condition for rehearsals and performances.
Hosting Workshops
We regularly host workshops with master percussionist teachers, providing our members and the community with high-quality, hands-on learning experiences. These workshops are crucial for skill development and fostering a deeper understanding of Brazilian percussion.
Covering Operational Costs
Running The Handphibians involves various expenses, including renting our rehearsal studio and compensating our leadership. Your donation helps us cover these essential costs, ensuring that we can continue to operate smoothly.
Tax-Deductible Donations
The Handphibians receive tax-deductible donations via our fiscal sponsor, Create Wisconsin Inc., a registered 501(c)(3) organization. This means your donation is not only supporting a great cause but is also tax-deductible.
