Support the Master Players
The Master Players Concert Series ("Master Players") is a flagship concert presenting organization of the Mid-Atlantic region, in residence at the University of Delaware. The series is supported by UD’s College of Arts and Sciences. The Master Players performances and educational programs presented each season are made possible by the generous support of dedicated friends who value the arts in our community.
Ticket revenues cover only 27% of the costs associated with presenting world-class arts performances and educational programs. Tax-deductible contributions from Master Players donors help make up the difference.

Presenting Partnership
With a diverse program offering including music of many genres, musical theatre, and dance, Master Players has built partnerships with many local organizations, bringing world class Master Players events and artists to our presenting partners' members and audience. Master Players welcomes new partnerships with more institutions and corporations to plan their private or public events with performing art, and to work closely with presenters in the region to combine resources and collaborate in programming and artist selection.
Please contact us to plan your future events or future seasons as our partner.
