Dear Friends,
Even though it's only April, it is a time for Opera Naples to give thanks. We just concluded another wonderful season, and it could not have been possible without the tireless efforts of so many people who want great art to be available in our community. We've included below the people to whom we are enormously grateful for their service and dedication. If you would like to join our volunteer ranks and help make world-class opera grow and thrive in Southwest Florida, give us a call!
Our fiscal year comes to a close on June 30, and we are currently conducting our final annual campaign solicitation for the year. If you can make a financial contribution in recognition of our efforts, or can consider an additional gift for this year, please contact us today and pledge your support. As we have said throughout the year, your gift ensures that we present the very best in performances and educational opportunities, and do so at prices that remain accessible to all. Thank you!
We are also putting the final details in place for what will be an exciting 2013-14 Season, which includes our return to The Philharmonic Center for the Arts. Stay tuned for an announcement soon!
Finally, we offer our support to our colleagues in the Boston area, as well as all who were affected by the events at the marathon. In the face of national tragedy such as what we witnessed this week, the importance of music, a language that transcends ideology, becomes especially apparent. Thank you, as always for your steadfast support in creating a haven for civility through the arts.
Sincerely yours,
Steffanie Pearce Tom Smith
Founding Artistic Director Executive Director & CEO
