The Guild's May issue of our electronic newsletter is now available. We have a new board of directors, and as a Guild we have raised and donated $40,000 to the Philharmonic. Thank you to all of our members for your involvement in the Guild and for making this year--even though it ended abruptly--successful. We look forward to next year and hope that our time of social distancing and not meeting will come to an end soon.

Philharmonic News Release: Colorado Springs Philharmonic Guild donates $40,000

 The Colorado Springs Philharmonic Guild donated $40,000 to the Colorado Springs Philharmonic in support of the Take a Stand Recovery and Musician Relief campaign.

“We are proud to be part of the Take a Stand Campaign. In the midst of COVID -19 crisis our music community was hit particularly hard and the Guild is glad to be able to contribute $40,000. We wish it could have been more, but we had to cancel our major fundraiser this year due to the virus,” said Hope Mena, President of the Colorado Springs Philharmonic Guild.

The Colorado Springs Philharmonic Guild is an important auxiliary group that holds a variety of fundraising events every year in support of the Colorado Springs Philharmonic and is the largest single volunteer contributor to the non-profit. Fundraising by the Guild from the 2019-20 Concert Season was earmarked for the Take a Stand Campaign.

In response to the COVID-19 crisis, the Take a Stand fundraising campaign aims to raise $344,000 to offset payroll costs for musicians through July 31 due to canceled concerts. Funds raised will help extend the Philharmonic’s future while standing by musicians, who at this time are struggling to make ends meet.

“This gift from the Philharmonic Guild is a lifeline and a ringing endorsement of our beloved orchestra,” said Nathan Newbrough, President and CEO of the Colorado Springs Philharmonic. “We are grateful, one and all, for our dear friends in the Philharmonic Guild. With their support, we are more determined than ever to face the challenges of this crisis.”

The Colorado Springs Philharmonic is the pre-eminent symphony orchestra in Southern Colorado Springs and relies on the generosity of its patrons and ticket sales to more than 40 performances in a single season.

“The near- and long-term impacts of the Covid-19 crisis are taking their toll, however we’re resilient. Thanks to our wonderful patrons we are able to stand firm,” said Newbrough. “We are staying true to our ticketholders – exchanging their unused tickets for vouchers – and standing behind our contracted musicians, who are receiving their base salary through the end of the concert season, even though concerts are canceled. We can only do this with the steadfast support of our audience and friends, who believe so passionately in the importance of a great Philharmonic for our community.”

Guild April newsletter: In this time of staying home and social distancing

4/14/2020

0 Comments

 
Our programs are cancelled. Our Spring Fundraiser is cancelled, which, by the way was on track to be a great success: fun for our membership and good for the coffers. Maybe it's a program we can hold for next year.

For an organization focused on live music; on gathering together to listen to concerts, to socialize and raise money for music--which we hold dear to us, this has hit us all hard. While we are grateful for our members health and strength through this, it has put a big damper on our abilities to support live music.

Here is our April "e" newsletter, including a letter from President Hope Mena. We hope you will join us in remembering our musicians at this time, and continuing to support the Guild through your renewed membership and commitment to support the programs and efforts of our organization. We miss you.

​Remember you can catch up on past email newsletters here.

We have our Facebook page (CS Philharmonic Guild), so if you have an idea or a program to share, don't be shy. And we have created a page of things to do to keep your mind sharp and engaged as we wait this out for the greater good. Enjoy.
