Once again this year, we’re asking for the support of our loyal audience to pursue our mission at the height of our art. The private donations and sponsorships to which you contribute represent 10% of our annual budget, an essential contribution to the long-term operation of our organization.
Les Boréades’ strength and artistic influence at home and abroad, and its focus on original programming, mean that we must maintain favorable conditions for our development and creation. The ensemble is proud to launch a $10,000 campaign to ensure the sustainability of the projects presented below, more specifically those focused on youth and education. For every additional donation of $500, generous donors will be invited to the Director’s annual dinner as a token of our thanks.
The Board of Directors and the team at Les Boréades join me in saying: thank you!
