Welcoming the 2011 Season
Can you recall a moment, a memory sharp and pleasant in your mind? Oftentimes, these are triggered by a smell or a sound. Music can take us to a transcendent place, when we are experiencing it in the moment, up close, and live. The Redwood Arts Council strives to create the environment for this to happen by providing:
· Stimulating music
· A variety of interesting world-class artists
· Nine live performances
· Unique and rare single experiences
· A small concert hall, with discerning yet casual audiences
· Great sight lines and top notch acoustics for
maximum enjoyment
· Chances to meet our artists
We do all of this at a time when the arts are often considered a non-important luxury item. In fact, America's nonprofit arts industry generates $166.2 billion in economic activity annually—supporting 5.7 million full-time equivalent jobs [and] 104 billion in household income. We have tightened our belts, examined our audience's musical wants, broadened our variety of performers and set up outreach in area schools to create community value—all while keeping our promise of quality performances to you. This is the value you help create by being a loyal supporter.
Once again, we want you as part of our cast! Please renew as a member, or consider subscribing to our season for your best value. Purchasing season tickets versus buying tickets for each show gives you a concert for free. In addition, members and season ticket holders receive the HUGE Kronos Quartet concert for our regular price, whereas the price to the public is more.
Members are put at the top of waiting lists for sold out concerts, are invited to artist receptions, receive free ticket vouchers (# dependent on the contribution), and acknowledgement on our quarterly flyer.
Season ticket holders receive all member benefits, plus, are guaranteed a seat at every concert (even sold out concerts), preferred seating, and receive advance information via email for each performance as a reminder.
In our 32nd Season, we present music from a palette of many colors with the Cavani, Borromeo and groundbreaking Kronos String Quartets, The Boston Trio, S.F. Munich Trio, vocal quartets New York Polyphony and Brass Farthing, and stunning Russian Cellist Boris Adrianov. Plus! Our 9th concert is in the works, because the group will be so big that we've had to wait to nail down all of the specifics for April 2012.
Ticket sales cover only 40% of what it costs to bring these unique experiences to our audiences, so we depend on you to help. Please consider making an additional tax deductible donation, even if you are a season ticket holder. You can also underwrite a concert of your choice to show your support! You can join by mail, or online at our website! We want you to have another season of transcendent moments!
