Newsletter: Spring 2005
Notes from our artistic director!
Thank you to our singers and families who have made this year so successful and provide the dedication and inspiration necessary for us to continue to grow musically together. This year has seen so many wonderful performances—and with Carmina Burana, our spring concerts and our tour to Carnegie Hall, the best is yet to come!
Support Cantabile!
This year a special emphasis is placed on fundraising for Cantabile since tuition and ticket revenue covers only a portion of the cost of educating our young singers. Budget figures reveal that tuition and tickets covered only 60% of the total costs of educating our young singers and running operations.
