Donate to Rhymes With Opera

November 27th, 2008

Hi everyone, and happy holidays! We’re getting ready for our March 2009 tour, and we’re looking for donations to help us get going. This time, we’re planning to present two brand new pieces (including the first-ever Rhymes With Opera commission) in four cities, as well as partner up with the Baltimore-based AM/PM Saxophone Quartet.

Can you donate to support our music? For a donation of $10 or more, we’ll send you a Rhymes With Opera sampler CD made up of tracks contributed by each of the members of our company. These unique CDs make equally good stocking stuffers, eggnog coasters, shattered christmas tree ornaments, shiny holiday frisbees and consumerist manifestations of “Cyber Monday”, and your donation will help us as we continue to explore the relationships between music, ideas and locality. No amount is too small! And your donation is now tax-deductible, because of our affiliation with American Opera Projects. There are two simple steps to make your tax-deductible donation to Rhymes With Opera:

• Send us a check, payable to “American Opera Projects”, be sure to put “Rhymes With Opera” on the memo line. Our address is Rhymes With Opera, P.O. Box 1921, Durham, NC 27702-1921
• Send an email to rhymeswithopera@gmail.com with the following information:
  1. name and mailing addres
  2. donation amount
  3. how many CDs you would like (up to one free CD for every ten dollars donation)

All gifts $50 or over enable the donor to become a member of Rhymes With Opera, who will receive (in addition to the sampler CD) a copy of our newsletter, be recognized as a member in our performance programs, as well as receive regular updates about upcoming RWO productions.

Thanks in advance for your support!
