Make a donation

Why give?
(page still under construction)

  • Commission Performances

    Commission high quality YouTube videos from the platform’s most prominent creators such as Alexandra Whittingham, Brandon Acker, Tatyana Ryzhkova, Paola Hermosin.

    As well as YouTube Channels like Siccas Guitars and Guitar Salon International.

    Live performances are great too! But less viewership and permanence.

    Money goes directly to the artist! I can even facilitate a direct donation to them if preferred.

  • Klaus Lendzian Scholarship

    Providing financial scholarships for college students and early professionals to study Klaus’s music.

    College guitar departments would be given a pool of funding. Student applies, proposes project, records work, etc.

  • Klaus Lendzian Performance Competition

    Participants perform recitals of Klaus’s works to a live audience, with cash prizes awarded to the top 4 finishers.

    Similar to any other classical competition focused on a composer, e.g., the International Chopin Festival held annually in Poland.

    Competition aside, really just another way to get people playing and listening to Klaus’s music!

  • Expenses

    -$212/yr for this website
    -$25-45/yr indefinitely with Distrokid, or $250-1250 one-time fee for CD baby (for music on streaming platforms)
    -$275 filing fee + legal fees when applying for 501(c)(3) nonprofit status which would allow for tax-deductible donations and eligibility for grants.

  • Gratitude for Time & Energy

    The least tangible, but the most significant.

  • Outreach

    Creating YouTube videos curating Klaus’s music.
    i.e. score videos but also videos focusing on harmonic concepts, techniques. In general: what makes Klaus’s music amazing.
