Ending on a good note

Sat., Dec. 15, 2012

The musicians of the Spokane Symphony would like to take this opportunity to thank you, the people of Spokane, for the support you have given us during the past month. The outpouring of letters, benefit concert attendance and generous donations to our emergency relief fund have astonished and amazed us.

Please accept our sincere gratitude, and know that your support has shown us you value us, understand our needs, and value the presence of music in our community. Now that we are back at work, don’t be strangers! Come and say hello to us at concerts or wherever you see us. We are your orchestra, and it is our connection to you that will sustain us.
