Champion extraordinary choral music. Be part of Spire’s future.
The Maestro’s Circle is the Spire Chamber Ensemble’s premier giving society—named in honor of our visionary founder, Maestro Ben A. Spalding. His artistry is evident through every note Spire renders, and now, through your support.

As a Maestro’s Circle member, you’ll enjoy:
- Tickets to every Spire concert in the 2025–2026 season
- Exclusive invitations to private receptions and VIP dinners
- Behind-the-scenes access to rehearsals and special events
- Public recognition in our concert programs and online
More than just benefits, your gift helps Spire thrive—funding concert performances, outreach to underserved populations, and innovative collaborations that elevate the choral arts.

“One of the finer things that I’ve done in my life is supporting Spire. It is such a beautiful thing to support Ben and the musicians in creating glorious music that celebrates past masters as well as contemporary compositions.
Ben and his musicians send so much joy and beauty into the world. Here it is right in front of us, the opportunity to support the creation of joy, and send it into our battered world. I can think of no better mission!”
“We have been associated with the Spire Chamber Ensemble since its beginnings. For us, it has been an inspirational time watching it grow into an outstanding musical organization using extremely talented vocalists and instrumentalists who produce outstanding music.
We enjoy the various styles of music, the incredible production of sound and lyrics, and the quality of musicians who have shared their talents. We have never been disappointed in any of their programs.
