WELCOME TO
As you enjoy today's mini-concert, please consider donating to our Emergency Musician Fund. As you may or may not know, many of Saratoga Orchestra musicians are freelance professionals and patchwork their livelihood together with performing in several ensembles as well as teaching lessons. With performance halls shut down and “social distancing” being the norm these days, most of their income streams from performance and teaching jobs has vanished overnight.
Your donation will help bridge the gap with food, gas and utility bill expenses.
Please help as you are able and we hope to be sharing wonderful music with you - in person - in a real concert hall very soon!
