FredoMusic, Inc.: Please donate to support the Intercultural Music Initiative on GiveSTLDay

Dear Friends,

It's GiveSTLDay, and we're off to a good start, thanks to those of you who donated to get us started. The direct link to our GiveSTL Day page is https://www.givestlday.org/IMI Please donate to support the Intercultural Music Initiative

Read on below for just 3 of the many reasons to consider IMI for your giving support:

"In April of 1934 all cultures and all music genres took to the stages of Kiel Opera House and all cultures were in the audiences. I think this is about as intercultural as you can get while benefiting from music as a huge economic asset. Huge." - Ed Golterman, longtime STL resident

"one of the few most-diverse organizations in the region - in their cultural programming, board membership, and administration." -  a Missouri Arts Council grant panelist

 “… IMI [Intercultural Music Initiative] is a new series of concerts, which works to build bridges of true understanding and cooperation between cultures…”  - Gary Scott, St. Louis Magazine

Thank you!

HIGHLIGHTS from the 2020/2021 Season (You may read the online format at https://imusici.org/voam/2021seasonfinale/)

Let's start with the following entry
in our IMI Calendar Page:


The 2020/21 Season: Forging ahead with fabulous concerts, streaming on our Facebook page, some on our YouTube Channel or via Zoom. Public anxieties relating to the Covid-19 pandemic are REAL! Thus most programming during the 2020/2021 Season will continue to be presented virtually on Facebook and YouTube Live. Sonic Safari instruction events will be offered through Zoom,  while a few programs will be offered live for a limited audience following the guidelines mandated by St. Louis and St Louis County. So, Friends, on Thursday, May 6, 2021 GIVESTL Day, please look no further for one of the organizations to support with your DONATION. And your giving will support, to paraphrase a Missouri Arts Council grant panelist, "one of the few most-diverse organizations in the region - in their cultural programming, board membership, and administration."




What about the genius talents of 13-yr old choreographer/dancer Sahfi Uwizeye and her 14-yr old brother drummer Jahja Uwizeye performing with acclaimed flutist Wendy Hymes! A Sonic Safari event posted at  https://youtu.be/yHhcaqAGW9g. Again, FOR A LIMITED TIME ONLY! Yes, so on Thursday, May 6, 2021 GIVESTL Day, please look no further for one of the organizations to support with your DONATION.

Now, you may still be able to watch Episode 2 of our IMI Season Finale Concerts featuring our own St. Louis based IMI Chamber Players trio of flutist Wendy Hymes, clarinetist Mary Bryant, and bassoonist Hank Skolnick. It's still available at https://youtu.be/EKbCZHanums. Again, FOR A LIMITED TIME ONLY! On Thursday, May 6, 2021 GIVESTL Day, please look no further for one of the organizations to support with your DONATION.
