THOR JOHNSON LEGACY SOCIETY

The Legacy Society is dedicated to the future of the Peninsula Music Festival through gifts from wills and trusts named for Thor Johnson, the Festival’s founding conductor and the first donor to the Endowment Fund.

Membership is available to anyone who informs us that they have included the Festival in their will or have made it a beneficiary of any other deferred gift.

Your Legacy Gift invested in the endowment fund (and the interest accrued) at Congress Wealth Management will only be used to continue the rich programming presented every season.
