L E T T E R F R O M T H E E X E C U T I V E D I R E C TO R Thank you for joining us tonight as we share in a tradition of joy and merriment during the holiday season. We are honored to have the high school choirs of Arrowhead and University Lake School performing with The Philharmonic tonight. Welcome to all of the family and friends who have come out to support these young musicians as they share their talents with all of us. If you haven’t done so already, please consider giving a gift to support this tremendous orchestra of over 60 years. Ticket sales only cover about a third of the cost of producing our quality concerts and education programming, leaving the majority of support needed to the community. Your contributions not only create magical classical music concerts, but also provide Waukesha County schools with music education programs that reach children of all ages – from those who have never seen live music before to those who are seeking the support and coaching of our musicians as they consider careers of their own in music. Give the gift of music this season and help us educate the community about its vitality. Thank you to Century Fence and Waukesha State Bank for supporting The Wisconsin Philharmonic by sponsoring tonight’s concert. Thank you, as well, to our choir sponsor, HUSCO International, for supporting arts education with their sponsorship. We could not be more grateful for your generous support. All of us at The Wisconsin Philharmonic would like to thank you, our dedicated audience, for celebrating the holiday season with us and wish you all a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
