While members of the Berklee community are an integral part of the financial health of the college, many of our advances would not be possible without the support of individuals and organizations who believe in Berklee's mission.

Friends of Berklee have made valuable contributions to shcolarships, endowments, and facilities. While many Friends of Berklee come from the music community, a significant number live and work in other industries, but appreciate the importance of a vital, living musical culture in contemporary society.

Here are some friends who have made a difference to Berklee:

• Michael and Lois Friedman
• Michel Camilo

Some of Berklee's most ardent supporters are business leaders from the community. Many of these men and women are accomplished musicians in their own right. Watch them strut their stuff at Berklee's Executive Sessions.
