SUPPORT PRO ARTE TODAY

Dear Pro Arte Supporter,

 

On behalf of the musicians and Trustees of Pro Arte Chamber Orchestra I'd like to thank you for your steadfast support.  Now in our 48th season, our organization wouldn't be here without your dedication.  Many thanks for your attendance at our concerts and for helping to spread the word.  We are excited that our Newton audiences for both the full ensemble and Salon concerts have been growing, 

 

As you undoubtedly know, there have been severe cuts to government funding at the federal and state level. As a result, we, like most arts groups, have to reach out for more support from individual donors.  As we plan for our 49th and 50th seasons we are asking you to increase your donation by 25% if you are able, in order to compensate for these losses.  This increase would help us cover the increases in concert costs, including venue rental and marketing, as well as musicians' fees, which have gone up nearly 25% over the past 5 years.  If you have not yet given to Pro Arte, please consider a gift this year. Any amount will be gratefully received.

 

We at Pro Arte are proud of our unique structure as a professional cooperative orchestra that brings musician-driven performances of well-known favorites and little-known gems to Newton and surrounding communities. Thank you for continuing your support as we approach our milestone 50th Anniversary.

Happy Holidays to you and your loved ones!  We look forward to seeing you in our audience in the New Year.

​

Barbara Englesberg, Pro Arte violinist, President of the Cooperative
