CHAMPION DONORS

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 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.

The Naomi + John Lacey

Programme

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.

CLARK FAMILY

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. 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.

MACLACHLAN /RIDGE

EMERGING ARTIST PROGRAMME

Letha MacLachlan, Q.C., and John Ridge give outstanding young Canadian musicians a chance to advance their careers by performing with the CPO, helping to develop Canada’s next generation of artists.

Joyce & Dick Matthews

Philanthropic Programme

Created in memory of Joyce and Dick Matthews, dedicated and generous supporters of the CPO for more than 50 years. This programme helps people recognize someone special in memoriam. Founded by Judy Kilbourne, this after-school programme for students age 5 to 11 brings music to the hands and hearts of children who otherwise would not have access to such artistic development.

For more information about how your donation can make a difference to the Orchestra and also align with your interests, please visit calgaryphil.com or call 403.571.0270.

The Calgary Philharmonic Orchestra extends its sincere appreciation to all donors. Thank you!
