\"\"Dear friend of the Festival,<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Like you, I feel a wide mix of emotions at the close of the Colorado Music Festival. There is relief, for certain \u2014 after all, making music at this high level is physical and consuming. There is sadness, as the spell of the season is broken and my friends onstage and off begin their journeys home. There is utter elation for all we have managed to accomplish together in a matter of mere weeks, for the sheer triumph of music and the ways it has unified and transformed us.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

And finally there is anticipation. The final notes have hardly finished ringing out when my mind turns to all that we will create next season and beyond. Which rising stars should we commission for dazzling new premieres? Which classical gems are due for a reawakening on our stage? Which young musicians shall we invite as our Festival Fellows? It is with questions like these buzzing in my head that I walk away from Chautauqua each August.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Having recently signed a new 5-year contract<\/a><\/strong> with this incredible Festival, I can\u2019t help but feel the sky\u2019s the limit. You, however, play a large role in our success<\/strong>, as the Festival\u2019s dreams can only extend as far as our resources allow.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Will you donate today<\/a> to help us ensure the continued extraordinary success of the Festival? <\/strong>Your support at this time of year tells us how high we can reach, how far we can stretch, and how much our community will stand behind us as we plan for the future.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

If you feel grateful, inspired, or moved by our music this year, I invite you to donate today<\/strong><\/a> to help make it possible again.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

With deep gratitude,\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
