Dear MMEA Member and Friend of Symphony Hall Scholars:

Symphony Hall Scholars is proud to announce our success during our first 10 years -- nearly $80,000 has been raised to subsidize our All State musicians! Last year alone, we raised $10,780 from MMEA members and organizations, plus non-MMEA members who made a donation in honor and memory of Past-President, Dwight Killam. This is a wonderful record of generosity from our many donors.

Thank you and congratulations to all who have made this happen!

As you know, SHS funding has significantly helped to reduce the gap between what our Massachusetts All State musicians pay and the real cost of running All State rehearsals, housing, meals, buses, Symphony Hall rental, and the culminating concert.

We hope that if you have supported SHS you will do so again and help us celebrate our 10th anniversary!  If you have not contributed recently, we invite you to participate in this initiative.  Your contribution will continue to make it possible for our All State musicians to have that life-changing, intense musical experience working with world-class conductors and talented peers from around the Commonwealth. 

Please remember that no donation is too small!  Any amount is most gratefully received.  And, of course, all donations are fully deductible as a charitable contribution.  We hope you will take advantage of contributing before December 31st in order to qualify for this year's deduction.

Thank you for your dedication in making a difference in students' lives!

With appreciation for your continuing support,

Emilee Blanchet, Noreen Diamond Burdett, Jonathan Rappaport
