A letter from the Director…
Welcome to the annual Holiday Spectacular, presented by the School of Music, Theatre and Dance! We are thankful that you have chosen to join us for a program that celebrates goodwill through the universal language of music, while raising funds to support scholarships for students in the music degree program at CSU.
Throughout the performance, you will hear wonderful stories about our students and what they are accomplishing in their musical and academic pursuits. Scholarship funding supports students as they strive to reach their potential as performers, teachers, therapists, scholars and composers, spreading goodwill through music as their careers unfold. While a portion of the price of your ticket will go to support music scholarships at CSU, I hope you will join me in making a greater commitment to these deserving students, and the bright future they represent, by making a gift tonight through the envelope provided in your program. Please indicate “Music Scholarships” on the form and leave it in one of the marked boxes in the lobby on your way out this evening, or go to https://advancing.colostate.edu/1666 to make a gift online.
From all of us in the School of Music, Theatre and Dance, we hope you enjoy the concert and wish you a very happy holiday season!
