Passing Leonard Bernstein’s legacy
on to future generations

…My decision has been, without too much difficulty, to spend most of the remaining energy and time the Lord grants me with education, sharing as much as possible with younger people – and especially with very young people – whatever I can share, whatever I know not only about music, but about art, and not only about art, but also about the relation between art and life, and being oneself, finding one’s self, “knowing who you are” and doing the best possible job.
If I can communicate some of this to as many young people as possible in the years that remain to me, I will be a very happy man.

from his address at the PMF 1990 opening cеremony on June 21,1990

Donate for a chance to win a gift package every year through 2030!

PMF celebrated its 35th year in 2025, and now the 40th anniversary is on the horizon.
For the next five years, we will raise funds in support of a special project to invite alumni from all corners of the world to return to PMF in 2030.

We are deeply grateful to all of our supporters, and to our global community of alumni who go on to play various important roles in so many different places. It would be our great joy to reunite with alumni through this project. Please consider donating today, and joining with us as we travel this long road together toward the 40th anniversary in 2030!

※This fundraising project is for people who reside outside Japan, as donations from within Japan have a different tax status, and will not be eligible for the designated gift packages.
Residents of Japan, please instead consider supporting the festival through our annual crowdfunding project, which starts in May each year!

Additional incentives

As additional incentive, each year 3 donors’ names will be randomly selected to receive a gift package, and the highest donor will receive both the gift package and special items designed by Kanako Kajihara!

For each $50 USD donation made, a donor will have a chance to be selected in March of each year until 2030. The more times a donor’s name is “put into the hat,” the better their chances of being selected!
Gift packages include three “Sapporo Style” certified items created by artists in Sapporo, listed below.

“Sapporo Style” products

With gratitude for your support, PMF is delighted to offer the chance to win 3 “Sapporo Style” products.

"Sapporo Style" is a regional brand of original high-quality products produced by companies in Sapporo and certified by the City. Sapporo’s northern climate and its 4 highly distinct seasons inspire many artists to create products with a sense of fun, warmth, curiosity, novelty, and beauty, to enrich people's lives. Only select items are certified as "Sapporo Style" products.

PMF gift packages will include the following 3 items:

Gift 1

Frozen Star
(candle uturano)

A “Frozen Star” candle from the Uturano design studio, utilizing high-purity soft wax produced in Hokkaido

Gift 2

Hyoteki
(Rikospoppo)

A glass “Hyoteki” plate from the Rikospoppo design studio, inspired by water drops on ice, reflecting light in a unique way reminiscent of winter in Sapporo

Gift 3

Deer leather key case
(24 KIRICO)

A key case from the 24 Kirico design studio, made from the soft and durable leather of Hokkaido’s Yezo sika deer, with an antler zipper pull

The highest donor each fiscal year

And in addition to these, the highest donor each fiscal year will receive two face towels from esteemed textile designer Kanako Kajihara. Born in Sapporo, Kajihara is known for her distinctive style, combining Japanese traditional craft with modern innovation. Her ethical design philosophy includes the use of leftover materials, which feeds into her aesthetic, lending to her truly unique designs. Her work is sought after globally, including by French high fashion brands.

Kajihara’s extra fine, soft, and quick-to-dry 100% blended-cotton towels make use of environmentally friendly materials including "Pima cotton," characterized by its suppleness and softness. The resultant yarn is processed with the cutting edge “super zero” twisting method, resulting in excellent absorbency and long-lasting fluffiness. Kajihara's towels are used by Tokyo’s prestigious Imperial Hotel.

Terms and conditions

The Japanese fiscal year is from April to March. Entries for the 1st year’s drawing will close on Wednesday, March 31, 2027 at 11:00pm Japan Time. Donations made between January and March 2026 will go toward the first drawing in March 2027. Winners will be selected by Wednesday, April 7, 2027. Donations received after this deadline will be eligible for the drawing in April 2028. Winners will be notified via email by Thursday, April 8, 2027. All items are subject to availability, and terms and conditions apply.
