Dear <<First Name>>,
Is it really already almost March? 2022 is already flying by, and it feels like it just got here!
If it's almost March, that means it's almost time for Amplify Austin, Central Texas's annual extravaganza of giving for nonprofits. The fundraiser will begin at 6pm on Wednesday, March 2 and continues for 24 hours.
Click here to reach our Amplify Austin profile. You can donate to us through this portal, and there are several matching opportunities available, which will help you multiply your contribution without having to pay any extra! Simply scroll down and click on "Match Potential" to learn more. There are suggested donation amounts that give you an idea of what your contribution can cover, or you can select your own custom amount.
We have set an admittedly ambitious goal for this year's fundraiser of $10,000. Half of that will go toward supporting our next concert program (more on that below), with the remainder being banked for the future. It's a lofty goal, for sure, but if everyone chipped in even $5 or $10, we'd make it there before long. Around 68¢ of every dollar you contribute goes directly to one of our musicians. Keeping overhead low allows us to bring you more music.
We have a concert coming up! At the end of April we'll bring you Musique por Coucher le Roi – a program of chamber music from the court of France's Louis XIV. We have the dates set and as soon as we nail down the venues, we'll open up ticket sales and let you all know. This will be our first French program in a couple of years and will feature music by Lully, Marais, Jacquet de la Guerre, and more!
We hope to hear from you for Amplify Austin! It's no exaggeration to say that we wouldn't be able to do what we do without your loving and generous support. We're so glad we're still able to share beautiful music with you after a very rough past two years – and we hope to be able to keep doing just that for years to come!
Musically yours,
Billy Traylor – Artistic Director
Stephanie Noori – Concertmaster
Chelsee Sandaker – Ensemble Administrator
James Moran – President, Board of Directors
