THANK YOU TO OUR CHAMPIONS The Calgary Philharmonic Orchestra is able to achieve its goals in large part thanks to the dedication of its Champion donors. Every contribution, large or small, plays a vital role in the success of the Calgary Philharmonic Orchestra, and allows the Orchestra to share its love of music with others through its education and outreach programmes, live-streaming, the commissioning of new works, bringing world-class guest artists and conductors to Calgary, and supporting the next generation of artists.
The Naomi + John Lacey
Programme
The Foundation, the CPO’s largest annual supporter, is critical to its long-term stability and growth. Contributions to the Foundation ensure future generations have access to the power of orchestral music.
This programme has been bringing world-class artists to the CPO for over 10 seasons. Many Virtuoso artists also perform at intimate recitals for Patron Programme members, or teach masterclasses to aspiring musicians.
Irene and Walt DeBoni contribute to the development and commissioning of new Canadian works. Thanks to this programme, the CPO premieres five new works this Season for 2020: The Year of Beethoven series.
Founded by Ellen and Allen Borak, this programme helps elevate the art of choral music by supporting and nurturing the development of the Calgary Philharmonic Chorus, led by Chorus Master Timothy Shantz.
Founded by arts champion Andrea Brussa, this programme supports the CPO by enabling it to bring some of the world’s leading conductors to Calgary to perform with the Orchestra.
C L A R K FA M I LY Elaine and Jeremy Clark, along with their daughters Keiko and Chloe, support initiatives such as the Mozart Patron Programme and Heartstrings that help bring more music to more people and encourage philanthropy.
