THANK YOU DONORS

We are so deeply thankful for your dedication to the performing arts. This season featured quality performances that allowed us to touch the lives of so many. Your support has had an immeasurable impact in the lives of our students and community. Without your help we could not have, among other things, acquired our new Steinway piano or offered so many different educational opportunities. Thank you for making the 2019–2020 IU Auditorium season a success.

MEANINGFUL IMPACT

Because of the generosity of more than 623 IU Auditorium individual and corporate supporters, Give the Magic shared 351 tickets to see STOMP with eight local social service organizations, and 5,520 students and community members were inspired by 61 educational programs led by world-renowned artists and community experts. Thank you for your growing support of IU Auditorium and these initiatives!

GOALS REACHED

To our donors and corporate partners, we thank you for your critical role in achieving IU Auditorium’s vision for the 2019–2020 season. Although our season was cut short, your support exceeded our expectations. Your gifts connected K–12 and university students to the performing arts, provided student scholarships and professional development opportunities, and inspired community members through our performances. Thank you for making it all possible!

OUR NEW STEINWAY

In the winter of the 2019–2020, IU Auditorium welcomed a brand-new Steinway D Concert Grand Piano to Bloomington! The purchase of this beautiful new piano was a critical financial investment for the Auditorium, replacing the old piano purchased in 1968. The arrival of the new piano marked a culmination of more than two years of planning and work by our Auditorium Board of Advisors, staff, and numerous friends and colleagues.

Our new Steinway will continue IU Auditorium’s mission to create engaging world-class arts and event experiences at IU by attracting artists and performances of the highest caliber. In addition, our new Steinway will help to provide academic enrichment opportunities for collaboration among Indiana University students, local community members, and K–12 students, creating an environment in which these experiences can grow.

Thank you to our numerous friends who have allowed us to bring this remarkable instrument to our stage. A special thanks goes out to all the donors, as well as the IU Auditorium Board of Advisors, and Linda Hunt and Tim Morrison, for their leadership and participation throughout the entire campaign.
