Endowment and Planned Giving – Roger Wagner Society

Planning for the future is vital, not only for individuals but for organizations as well.

The Roger Wagner Society is a group of visionary individuals whose love for choral music and especially the Los Angeles Master Chorale inspired them to make endowment or irrevocable planned gifts to ensure the future of this extraordinary ensemble and the organization that sustains it.

There are such joys for me in making a planned gift to the LAMC endowment fund … and joys at so many levels. They range ...

    from the “global:” contributing to the future of choral music—the repertoire, knowledge and familiarity of this most intimate of musical expressions;

    to the more immediate: the thrilling experiences of enjoying, sharing and supporting this truly peerless group of singers and music director in our extraordinary concert hall;

    to the very personal: sharing with my children and grandchildren the importance of family support for the arts that bring us so much pleasure, and expanding their educations about both classical and contemporary music, and sharing the beautiful experiences of being there together—all of us sharing the music, the singers, Grant, and WDCH, even being downtown together for very special evenings in this great city.

We feel privileged to be a small part of the LAMC. And we enjoy it all tremendously. We thank the musicians who are the LAMC, and Grant, and our amazing staff, and all the supporters of LAMC who make all this possible … and bring us such joys. Encore! Encore! ”
