Special Community Event: Fantastic Holiday

Dear friends of the arts,

As you know, there is tremendous talent in our community. We are fortunate to have both a first-class ballet school and a full symphony orchestra calling southern Maryland home. This coming holiday season, The Abigail Francisco School of Classical Ballet and COSMIC Symphony are planning a very special collaboration. Fantastic Holiday will bring together dance and music in a unique production including original choreography to favorite holiday tunes as well as classic dances from The Nutcracker, all set to live music. The show will also feature professional principal dancers, and world-class conductor Vladimir Lande will lead the orchestra. We believe our local families will very much welcome the opportunity to enjoy this holiday spectacular in their own area.

Such a large-scale endeavor incurs significant costs including, venue rental, sets, lighting, professional dancers’ fees, music purchase, publicity, and numerous other expenses. We are writing in hope you or your business will support this project that will so greatly benefit our community. COSMIC, who will produce the show, is a non-profit (501 c 3) organization; your tax-deductible contribution would be deeply appreciated and acknowledged in the performance program and publicity materials. We are confident this show will be truly fantastic, and in the generosity of our local community to make it happen.

Please use the adjacent form to pledge your support.

Yours in music and dance,

Jackie Hahn

President,

COSMIC Symphony
