Do you believe music is a vital part of a child's development?
Are orchestras, opera companies, choirs, bands, and other musical organizations an essential part of the cultural fabric of our city?
Is music a vehicle through which strong communities are built?
Are you a musician or music educator?
If you answered "yes" to any of these questions, we want you on our team. We sit side-by-side at concerts, and cook side-by-side at our fundraising parties. We celebrate the children who perform each year at our membership meetings and community concerts, and marvel as they grow in skill, knowing that we were there to support them along the way. The rewards are indescribable . . . join us and see for yourself.
a letter from our membership chair
September, 2018
Dear Friends:
It’s been a busy year for the Savannah Friends of Music! However, we were paid off, in full, at our May meeting as we watched the smiles on the faces of those receiving much-needed funds. As always, this year’s grants were made to organizations that provide special programming to meet the musical needs and interests of Savannah’s youth.
At that May luncheon, we awarded over $35,000 bringing us ever closer to our million-dollar goal, which with your support, we will surely meet this year! For an organization just completing fifteen years of operation, that’s a tidy sum to raise in support of classical music and music education, and we feel very good about that. Organizations receiving funds were Armstrong Youth Orchestra, American Traditions Competition, BRAVO, Classical Academy, Garrison School of the Arts, Savannah Arts Academy, Savannah Children’s Chorus, Savannah Music Festival, Savannah Philharmonic Orchestra, Savannah Voice Festival and SONATA. Additionally, nearly $5,000 was given for private music lessons scholarships for Armstrong Youth Orchestra students and scholarships for summer music camps. Through the Piano Keys project, we gave a beautiful baby grand piano to Garrison for their Piano Studio. What we are doing, with your help, is changing the lives of children through music!
Of course, without your financial support, our generosity would not be possible. Many of you have contributed to SFOM’s success, and to all of you, we say “thank you.” The children and the organizations thank you as well. We raise our funds through membership request letters like this and Parties a la Carte events, relying on the generosity of people who lend their homes for musical parties and you who attend these parties. SFOM is an organization that is just that, FRIENDS, and we couldn’t exist without them.
Now, a new year has started, and we are asking you to renew or join our ranks. We are an all-volunteer organization, and we use nearly all money received or raised to fund those organizations meeting our quest of music education for Savannah’s young people. Please help us as we continue to nurture, through music, the lives of the children of Savannah. Suggested levels are as follows: Single Member $35; Family $60; Patron $100; and Benefactor $200 or more.
Gratefully,
Marilyn Sheridan
Membership Chairman
