Happy Valentine's Day!
If we have your mailing address on file, you likely received this Valentine's letter via snail mail this week, but we wanted to take this opportunity to say Happy Valentine's Day to our whole community! Today, on Valentine's Day, I find myself reflecting on the many ways love manifests itself in our lives. Love is so expansive! It’s through the passion of music, the bond of a community coming together, and the simple joy of sharing something beautiful with others. I believe in the power of music to unite, inspire, and heal. Lately, Asher, my superhero-obsessed four year old, has made me remember the awesome wonder of superpowers, and I’m realizing now that music is certainly a superpower. I’m asking for your support to continue to bring the power of music to Southern Vermont. Since 2012, Pikes Falls Chamber Music Festival has brought together world-class musicians, music lovers, and community for a week of music and art in Jamaica, Grafton, Londonderry, and Manchester. But we can't do it alone. We need your help to ensure that the Pikes Falls Chamber Music Festival continues to thrive and grow, allowing us to offer new and exciting programming for all to enjoy. This Valentine's Day, we invite you to share in the love of music by making a donation to the festival. Your generosity will help fund:
In the spirit of Valentine’s Day, your gift is more than just a donation – it’s a love letter to the arts, a chance to share the gift of music, and a way to create lasting memories with a community that’s important to you. Every contribution, no matter the size, helps ensure that the Pikes Falls Chamber Music Festival continues to flourish and bring people together.
Thank you for considering a gift this Valentine’s Day to support the Pikes Falls Chamber Music Festival. With heartfelt thanks and best wishes for a season filled with love, music, and musical love. I hope to see you soon. Susanna Loewy Artistic Director and Founder Pikes Falls Chamber Music Festival P.S. If you didn't get this letter in your mailbox at home, we would love to be able to include you in our future mailings! You can share your address with us via this form. This summer's concerts will be from August 5-9, 2025!
The programming will be announced soon, but meanwhile we wanted to let everyone know that we're so excited about this summer... some new (and returning!) musicians playing incredible repertoire... and the best part is that we get to be back in Southern Vermont. Last night's concert was such a joy. On behalf of all the festival musicians and staff, I want to take a moment on this lovely Vermont morning to thank you for your support of the festival -- before, during, and throughout the year. Our 2024 season was one of the most memorable years yet. We are grateful for all the people who showed their support. Whether it be by attending concerts, donating, welcoming us into their homes, or sharing the festival with your friends and family, thank you. It all wouldn't be possible without you. We welcomed many new faces this year to our concerts this year. If you attended any of this year's festival, let us know what you thought! Your feedback helps us make future events better. Once again, thank you for everything... and see you next year! (We're already counting down the days.)  Tonight at 7pm in the Jamaica Town Hall, Pikes Falls Chamber Music Festival musicians will be performing an incredible concert featuring music by Paul Wiancko, Ellen Taaffe Zwilich, Johannes Brahms, and a world premiere commission for the festival by Nathan Lincoln-Decusatis. Before the concert, come to hear Greg Joly discuss Scott and Helen Nearing in "Sugar and Stone" at 5pm in the Town Hall. A light reception will follow, and the Jamaica History Museum will be open to visit from 6-7pm. As always, concerts and events are free, but donations are welcome. It has been a fantastic week. See you tonight!  |
