Be a Part of the Music
We are asking for you to be a part of the music, to build upon our recent successes, and to continue to expand our unique and vital work. Our cultural preservation efforts require the technical skill, time, and expertise of our small, committed staff and volunteers.
It also requires the help of everyone who enjoys our shows and events. This moving film clearly shows the impact your support and our work has had on several of the hundreds of artists we have worked with; we need your help to ensure we can continue our work in the coming year. Please support our efforts and help us reach our fundraising goal of $40,000.00 by December 31st 2009 with a donation in any amount that is meaningful to you. We look forward to you joining us to guarantee the music lives on.
