Call for Sponsorship

We are a dedicated team committed to bringing the stories and music of Ervin Nyiregyházi to life. We are seeking sponsorship from individuals who understand the value of preserving our musical heritage.

By sponsoring our historical CD releases, you will not only support the production and distribution of his unique albums but also become an integral part of our mission to inspire, educate, and entertain audiences worldwide.

Our next project will be: Nyiregyházi Live Vol. 4: R. Antonioli's House, California, 1973.

Antonioli Tapes

We have the original reel-to-reel tape of this recital. The program indicates that he played  Liszt, Brahms, Tchaikovsky, and Schubert A minor Sonata (!), although we have not yet confirmed that the tape actually contains the Schubert piece.

As a full project sponsor (4500 pounds), you will be listed as Executive Producer, receive CD copies and some archival photo prints as well as recognition in the album booklet, social media campaigns, and official web page. A supporter (over 1000 pounds), you will receive CD copies and recognition in the album booklet.

Your generous sponsorship will not only help us produce his albums but will also contribute to the preservation and promotion of cultural heritage for future generations. Together, we can ensure that the voice of one of the most idiosyncratic musicians in the 20th century continue to resonate with audiences today and for years to come.
