Let Your Voice Be Heard!
Dear Friends:
Like many arts organizations, The Martina Arroyo Foundation's Prelude to Performance has been dramatically impacted by COVID-19. The Foundation is committed to the health and safety of everyone attending, performing in, or working at our concerts.
As we face this global health crisis, organizations and donors nationwide are joining together tomorrow, Tuesday May 5, to ensure that cultural organizations such as ours have a healthy future. is a world-wide day of generosity and unity, a day to come together in response to the unprecedented need caused by COVID-19.
While our 2020 season has been postponed, we look forward to seeing you for the Summer of 2021 when we return with the operas you've grown to love, featuring the young artists we train and nurture through our wonderful Prelude to Performance summer program. And for this, we need your help.
Tomorrow, people all around the world are coming together to strengthen organizations such as ours at the grassroots level. Won't you let your voice be heard? Your generous support is critical to the development of our young artists. Here is how you can help:
1. Give. On May 5, please visit https://www.martinaarroyofdn.org/donate to make your fully tax-deductible gift.
2. Follow. Please follow us on Facebook and invite your friends to do the same.
3. Spread the word. Encourage your friends and family to join you in creating real impact on May 5 by sharing what our mission means to you and why you support our organization.
We are all in this together. A gift to The Martina Arroyo Foundation means that more singers will be able to explore the artistic discipline of past generations and begin to inform their own performance at a meaningful time in their development. Your generous support is critical to the development of our young artists.
Additionally, since we can't be with you this summer, we'd like to keep you with us in spirit and song. Beginning tomorrow and over the next few weeks, we will be sharing some video links of Prelude to Performance's past performances, featuring many of our young artists who have gone on to perform at major opera houses throughout the world. Please keep an eye out for some of these treasured performances.
We ask you to be as generous as you can and thank you for your continued support. We hope that you and your families remain healthy and safe during this very trying time.
Sincerely,
Martina Arroyo, President
Deborah Surdi, Administrative Director
