$32

Stage Manager

Did you know that just 17 students played 32 different instruments on our last concert? That includes trumpet, trombone, and saxophones, flute, piccolo, clarinet, Bass clarinet, Tuba, acoustic guitar, and flugelhorn, to name a few! That’s a crowded stage!

$45.54

Tour Manager

The state of Sao Paulo is the most populous state in Brazil, with over 45,540,000 people. We hope to get them all dancing when we visit!

$88

Arranger

A full piano has 88 keys, from really low notes, to incredibly high. A good arranger knows how to use every one.

$133

Artistic Coordinator

Tarsila de Aguiar do Amaral was one of the great modernist painters of Brazil. If she were alive today, she’d be 133!

$201.08

Conductor

Cacilda Borges Barbosa was a Brazilian pianist, conductor and composer who pioneered electronic music. She lived until 2010 in August.

$500

Assistant Director

Assistant directors do everything behind the scenes that make performances go off without a hitch, including printing, binding, passing out, and collecting music. That can be 500 pages or more, for a single concert!

$1,000

Director

The Director is the lynchpin of any project. They know a performance inside and out and see the 1000 tiny details that make it up, and also understand the big picture bird's eye view from 1000 ft up.

$5,000

Executive Director

Did you know the distance between Austin and Sao Paulo is about 5,000 miles? 5,012, to be exact. We will travel every one of those miles thanks to your help. Any donor who would like to join this level will have a song from one of our student composers dedicated to them and video of the performance will be available to view and share!
