When you support TAK, your contribution strengthens every aspect of our organization, from our self-produced concerts, collaborations, and commissions, to our presenting and curatorial work with SWOONFEST and TAK Editions. We approach every TAK project with care and conscious consideration about how our work will elevate not just our own artistry as a group of five, but the incredible network of artists and community builders that surround us.

We love what we do, and in order to live in a world where this work continues to be possible, we need your help. With your support, we have been fortunate in recent seasons to have experienced tremendous growth, and this has allowed us to achieve some truly wild dreams. From our self produced concerts, commissioning work, educational residencies, and workshops, to presenting artists we love through SWOONFEST and the TAK Editions Podcast, we love digging into our work with the deepest creativity, imagining worlds in which the invitation into experimentalism is as boundless as our love for it.

None of this what we do would be possible without our small and mighty community of donors, none of this would be possible without you. When you contribute to TAK, you’re supporting the entire artistic ecosystem inside which we are intertwined; you’re supporting the incredible professional artists we commission and split bills with, the students we work with, the musical discourse and record we create with our podcast and record label, TAK Editions, and so much more.

Thank you to our incredible donors:
