Gala
A HOME OF OUR OWN
|
A Virtual Celebration of Place, Life, and Community benefiting Copland House According to the ancient Romans, “home is where the heart is.” During these past surreal months, it has also been where everything is: a safe space, workplace, school, haven of solace. Aaron Copland called his beloved longtime home “my hideaway, my solitude;” we call it your home for American music! Please join our family of creative luminaries and musical rising stars at A House of Our Own. This special celebration in word and music, features readings by Pulitzer Prize-winning, ex-U.S. Poet Laureate Rita Dove, MacArthur Foundation Fellow Sandra Cisneros, and best-selling author and broadcaster Jamie Bernstein; music by Aaron Copland, Leonard Bernstein, Grammy-nominee Derek Bermel, and Emmy Award-winner John Musto, in performances by our acclaimed Music from Copland House ensemble; and other surprises! Thanks to our extraordinarily generous and devoted Board of Trustees, we are delighted to be able to invite and welcome our many friends and supporters from around the U.S. and the world to this online fund-raiser for whatever amount you can give, starting as low as $50. Even more exciting, our Board will match your contribution to this event, doubling the impact of your gift! During this time of unprecedented challenges, no gift is too small, and all contributions are 100% tax-deductible ... so please give as generously as you can! |
