This year’s festival is again sponsored in large part by a generous designated gift from Capital One. Additional designated funds and operational funds are thanks to The City of Dallas Office of Arts & Culture, The Arts Community Alliance (TACA), Texas Commission on the Arts (TCA), Moody Fund for the Arts,  as well as numerous gifts from our individual patrons and collaboration from community partners including DART. FACP/ Basically Beethoven relies solely on grants and donations for its funding, as its mission is to provide absolutely free concerts and music education for all.
