The original Music Matters Fund was established by Suso Gygax and Hedwig Steffen (Stephanie) Gygax in 2016. In 2026, with a gift from Suso’s will, the endowment fund was established.
Distributions from this endowment fund support the presentation of concerts of classical and contemporary music in professional concert halls (for example the Main Stage of the Kay Meek Theatre) in West Vancouver and to subsidize the attendance of youth at such concerts through reduced cost or complimentary tickets.
