Testimonials

"When I first heard Tenet, I was hooked. In return for a short hour of pleasant concert help, I could join the audience and experience Tenet’s glorious music. I plan to usher forever!” Susan B.

“It's gratifying to be able to play a part in supporting this wonderful and talented group of musicians! Being part of Tenet's extended family of friends, supporters and volunteers enhances the experience of hearing them perform, making me aware of the critical role that music plays in fostering the harmony, peace and joy that bind us together as a community.” - Gael

Artist Hosting

Hosting is an incredible way to build lasting friendships with artists who visit New York to perform with us. You can get the inside scoop on our preparations too!

BENEFITS

  • 2 front area seats to attend the show your artist visitor performs in.

  • 2 front area seats to another other show on our series that you choose.

  • Acknowledgement in our concert program as an artist host.

WHAT’S INVOLVED?

When Tenet brings out of town artists to New York City, we ensure they have a clean private bedroom and bathroom with good wifi.

Artists are with us anywhere from 3-6 days depending on the project, and we need hosts who can cover their entire stay.

If you’re interested in hosting, Tenet will schedule a visit to meet you in person at your place and search for an artist match. When a match is made, we’ll reach out to share dates and introduce you to the visiting artist.

TESTIMONIAL

“My wife and I have had the opportunity to host several Tenet artists, including those involved in its mentor program, in our home. The experience has been delightful. Their passion for their art and their appreciation of Tenet is always evident. It’s been wonderful to get to know them, and we look forward to continuing to host in the future.” Paul

Testimonial

“I attended my first Tenet concert fifteen years ago. The sounds and cares of the city dropped away and in their place was Monteverdi’s Vespers of 1610. It felt like magic. As did every other Tenet concert I've attended since.Behind the magic is an unceasing struggle to make it all happen. If you also feel the magic of early music as brought to you by Tenet, I urge you to consider becoming a board member. I took that step seven years ago, and I’m so glad that I did.” Peter Hellman
