Dear Friends of the Burleigh Society,
We
are thinking of you during this horrific coronavirus pandemic and hope
that good health and comfort are with you. So much has been disrupted
and we are increasingly concerned about the impact of the virus
on performing artists, who are losing opportunity and income because of
mounting cancelled events and contracts.
Out of admiration for Harry T. Burleigh’s support of artists throughout his lifetime, The
Society is instituting an Artist Relief Fund to give an unrestricted,
non-taxable grant to each artist who has performed on a Burleigh Society
event.
We
recognize that this is a moment of unprecedented financial duress
across the world, yet we hope that you will join us at any level of
giving. We have seed funding of $50,000 that will match your donation 2:1! 100% of donations will go directly to individual artists.
Please
join us in supporting Burleigh Society artists, whose work fills stages
with creativity, beauty, and rigor. We are accepting donations for the
Artist Relief Fund through May 15, 2020.
Thank you for joining us to support musicians in Burleigh’s legacy,
Marti Slaten and Lynne Foote
