Legacy gift

A charitable legacy gift is a unique form of support that allows you to contribute to the values you care about even after your lifetime.

In the case of the Czech Philharmonic, it can help strengthen its position among the world’s leading orchestras, represent the Czech Republic abroad, support the development of young talents, and enable projects that make classical music more accessible and foster music education across generations.

Through a charitable bequest, you may leave:

  • financial assets or a portion of funds in your account,

  • securities and shares,

  • movable or immovable property,

  • other rights and assets that can be legally transferred.

Tom Schrecker: Good should be repaid with good

One of the donors who remembered the Czech Philharmonic in his will was Tom Schrecker — a world traveler, entrepreneur, philanthropist, one of Winton’s Children, and a close friend of Chief Conductor Jiří Bělohlávek and his family.

He was a passionate attendee of classical music concerts and the spiritual founder of the Czech Philharmonic’s Dynamic Donors’ Club.

His philanthropic work focused primarily on supporting classical music and education. His gift is an extraordinary expression of trust in our mission and, at the same time, a deeply human gesture.

You can read more about this remarkable man in the Czech Philharmonic’s magazine Ladírna.

"Life is short — enjoy it, and if you can, do something for others."

— Tom Schrecker
