This Christmas, Give a Gift That Lasts for Generations
125 Years of Music. A Lifetime of Memories.
What a wonderful celebration of music and community!
A heartfelt thank you to everyone who performed and attended our 125th Anniversary Celebration Concert. It was a truly special evening in our historic auditorium and a wonderful reminder of just how much extraordinary musical talent we have right here in Nelson.
We are so fortunate to be part of such a vibrant and supportive musical community. Thank you for helping us celebrate 125 years of music-making at NCMA!
60 Years Sponsored. Just 65 to Go!
We’re thrilled to share that 60 years have now been sponsored through our 125 for 125 campaign. We’re almost halfway to our goal!
A huge thank you to everyone who has already sponsored a year. Your generosity is helping us celebrate NCMA’s rich history while supporting its future.
With just 65 years remaining, we’d love your help reaching our goal of 125 sponsored years.
This Christmas, Give the Gift of Memories
Looking for a Christmas gift that’s truly meaningful?
Instead of something wrapped under the tree, why not give a gift that will be treasured for generations?
Sponsor a year for $1,000 in honour of someone special.
Perhaps it’s the year a parent first discovered their love of music, the year your child began music lessons, or a special year connected to a loved one who has been part of NCMA’s story.
Whether you’re celebrating someone special or remembering someone dearly missed, sponsoring a year is a beautiful way to honour their connection to music and to NCMA.
Your chosen year, along with their name or a special dedication, will be proudly displayed in our foyer for generations to come, becoming a lasting part of NCMA’s history.
Some gifts are enjoyed for a moment. Others become part of a legacy.

Support NCMA’s Future
For 125 years, the Nelson Centre of Musical Arts has been at the heart of the region’s cultural life, providing a home for music teaching, performance and community activity.
Like many historic arts organisations, our strength has seldom come from large endowments or ongoing government funding, but from steady, long-term community support. That collective commitment has allowed the building to be cared for, programmes to grow, and music to remain at the heart of Nelson.
To help ensure this continues, we are marking our 125th year by inviting 125 people to each contribute $1,000. Together, this will create a $125,000 fund to help care for the building, support our work, and ensure NCMA remains a living centre for music into the future.
We invite you to be a part of our story and to help ensure music continues to thrive in our community for generations to come.
