Last year we welcomed over 11,000 audience members to our performances, concerts, recitals and events, making it our best attended year ever. In addition to our student performances, our season always includes choreography, direction and concerts by our stellar faculty and visiting artists who are accomplished professionals, each with a true passion for the arts.

As a lover of the arts, you have a crucial role to play to ensure our success and the success of the students who are at the heart of all we do. It is my hope that you will help provide our students with the tools and resources they need with your gift to the Fund for Excellence.

A gift to the Fund directly supports these College priorities: • Production costs for the 200-plus live performances of dance, music, theatre and opera the College produces each year; • Recruitment of professional visiting artists for technique and master classes; • Scholarships and travel funds for our student touring ensembles and conferences.

Performances like the one you are about to see are an important part of our students' aca- demic and artistic curriculum, exposing them to experiences that hone their artistic sensibil- ities. Our students graduate with more training, more experience and more professional opportunities to launch their careers in the performing arts and performing arts education.

Each one of our students will benefit from your decision to support the College. With your gift, you will be a part of a family of individuals who demonstrate, year after year, their commitment to developing the talents of young artists. I hope you join us not only because you value the arts, but because you want to invest in our next generation of artists.

Enjoy the performance, and I look forward to seeing you again at our performances throughout the year.
