Maestro Gerhardt Zimmermann Memorial Fund
We will use the proceeds from this concert to establish and kick-start the Maestro Gerhardt Zimmermann Endowment Fund, which will be used to support the MasterWorks series. Dividends received from this fund will sponsor a MasterWorks concert every season in perpetuity under Gerhardt’s name. The conclusion of the campaign will unveil a “Legacy Wall” within the lobby of the Zimmermann Symphony Center, which will feature portraits of and excerpts regarding prominent figures throughout the CSO’s history, all of which will surround Gerhardt. To begin contributing to this campaign, please click the link below. All donors will be recognized on the wall.
