MEMBERSHIP POLICY

A Private Circle for Classical Excellence in Boca Raton

1. Purpose

The Boca Raton Music Society is a private cultural circle devoted to presenting world-class classical performances in intimate, salon-style settings.
Our mission is to unite artists and patrons who share a passion for music, art, and refined conversation—continuing the elegant Mizner tradition of cultured gatherings in Boca Raton.
The Society operates under the fiscal sponsorship of the Lisker Music Foundation, a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.

​

The Society upholds the following guiding values:

  • Artistic Excellence: Presenting performances of the highest caliber.

  • Intimacy & Authenticity: Preserving the salon tradition of direct connection between artist and audience.

  • Cultural Patronage: Encouraging philanthropy and stewardship of the arts.

  • Privacy & Discretion: Respecting members’ confidentiality and maintaining the exclusive nature of events.

  • Community & Conversation: Cultivating meaningful engagement between musicians, patrons, and fellow supporters of culture.

 

3. Membership Overview

Membership provides access to a curated season of private concerts, artist encounters, and elegant receptions.
The 2026 Season features three salon concerts, each hosted in a distinguished private venue across Boca Raton.

Personal Membership — $500 per season

​​​​4. Guest Attendance
