Other Options
Please choose any amount you would like to contribute toward the running of LEMISA.
The startup dream is to build LEMISA step by step, employing a small team of passionate creatives to turn vision into structure and structure into opportunity.
Every donation between R10 000 and R100 000 ($550–$5 400) helps us fund specific milestones, from community outreach and recording projects to the development of digital tools and artist support programs.
Each contribution is more than financial; it’s a vote of confidence in a new kind of creative future for South African musicians.
The ultimate goal is to build a dedicated arts school for high school students in South Africa, a state-of-the-art facility with a concert hall capable of hosting up to 5 000 people.
The school I envision would be similar to my alma mater, Interlochen Arts Academy, training musicians, dancers, painters, sculptors, theatre and opera students.
Something this ambitious could easily cost $25 million (≈ R460 million).
Thank you for your support and belief in this dream.
