Long Island Masterworks 2010/2011 Appeal

Help us transform lives with the power of singing.

Do you think music is important enough to deserve your support? Do you want the joy of music to transport your family, friends and neighbors, the way it does you?

If so, I invite you to experience and support Long Island Masterworks, Long Island’s premier chorus.

But we can’t do it without you. We can’t do it unless you help us continue to bring the passion, the joy, the power of music to your family, your friends, your neighbors.

What sets Long Island Masterworks apart? First, our professional orchestra and singers—we use a professional union orchestra—put on a performance that rivals the finest choruses in the New York metropolitan area. And there’s more:

 Because we’re not tied to a specific venue or town, we perform throughout Long Island, giving everyone the opportunity to experience the magic of a professional chorus.
 We’re the only choral organization in the area that performs familiar, new and commissioned works every season.
 We give back to the young people of the community with the Long Island Choral Festival and Institute, a summer celebration of music where young talents have opportunities to grow and learn alongside some of the best performers in the area.

Here’s why your support is critically important: because we’re dedicated to keeping our events accessible to the community, ticket sales only cover about 10-15% of the cost to present a concert. We rely on corporate and individual sponsors—audience members and music lovers like you—to make Long Island Masterworks possible.

Please help us transform lives with the power of singing. Please help us continue to bring the joy of music, and of making music, to Long Island and the New York metropolitan area.

Thank you in advance for your support.
