♫ Municipal Arts Center Information ♫
If you enjoy the music we play and appreciate the service we provide to the people of Charlottesville and Albemarle County, please consider joining with us to insure that our concerts and other activities continue in the future. If you’ve heard our great news, you know that thanks to the wonderful support of our community over the past several years and a recent special gift from a local private foundation, the mortgage on our home, the Municipal Arts Center, has been paid off. See the Municipal Arts Center Information web page for more about this great news.
In addition to continuing our fundraising to meet Band costs for music, instruments, equipment, and other expenses, we now set our sights on another of our goals, to establish an endowment fund to help us grow and thrive in the future. An endowment will assure that we can continue our proud tradition of free concerts to the public, regardless of economic fluctuations or reduced public funding. It will also allow us to maintain the Municipal Arts Center as a place where all arts organizations in the community can find rehearsal space or a place to hold recitals and other functions. Finally, an endowment will permit the Band to grow and provide quality band music to the community in new and exciting ways such as via small group ensembles, public school and other educational programs, and appearances across the State and region. If you would like to contribute to our endowment, please make your tax deductible check payable to the Municipal Band, clearly mark it “Endowment Fund” and send it to 1119 Fifth Street SW, Suite B, Charlottesville, VA 22902-6480 or use the secure PayPal online donation link above. We thank you very much!
