Maybe your parents would be reconciled if you were to give a benefit recital instead of simply asking for money via letters? Folks of the older generation, in my experience, can be very touchy about "begging for handouts" or "living on others' charity" and the like.
If you were to organize a recital from the get-go (rather than promising one after money is received), you might be able to come up with a letter your mother would approve of.
