The Ovation Circle is our program to honor and recognize donors who provide the highest level of support to our work.

These members provide a catalytic foundation to build and scale Classical KC’s impact in our community.

Support from the Ovation Circle enables us to continue the very best of classical music from Kansas City and around the world, free of charge and available 24-hours a day on-air and online at classicalkc.org.

Contact David Fulk, Director of Philanthropy at (816) 235-2812 to begin a conversation about general support, to establish an endowment or to make a gift in support of other current initiatives.
