Seasons greetings from Shriver Hall Concert Series, Baltimore's premier presenter of classical chamber music and solo recitals since 1966! We want to thank you for your support while letting you know about the exciting array of upcoming concerts in 2012 (many of which would make a great gift to that special music-lover in your life!) and ways to sustain the music you love.

Les Violons du Roy, chamber orchestra: January 29, 2012

Wolfgang Holzmair, baritone, sings Schubert's Winterreise: February 26, 2012

Richard Goode, piano, plays Mozart, and Chopin: March 18, 2012

Takacs String Quartet plays Debussy, Janacek, and Beethoven: April 15, 2012

Angela Hewitt, piano, plays Bach, Couperin, and Rameau: May 6, 2012

The Series is thriving because it presents the extraordinary talents of musicians like those listed above, through the support of people like you, and because of careful management by our Board and Staff. Purchasing tickets to Series performances is a sure-fire way to ensure that the music you love continues to be played in our community - so we hope you will buy tickets often!

With ticket prices covering only one-third of our day-to-day operating expenses,the Series depends on the generosity of individuals like you to offset the rising costs of presenting world-class artists. Your support is critical to ensuring that we will be able to continue presenting both the number and quality of performances you've come to expect while maintaining single-ticket and subscription prices that are considerably lower than those of most music organizations in the greater Baltimore region.

We ask you to strongly consider making a year-end charitable contribution to the Series. Giving has never been easier: just visit our secure and easy to use giving page by clicking here. No gift is too small (or too large!), and you can easily find giving levels by clicking here.

Every Shriver Hall Concert Series performance and educational program reflects the support of people like you who love classical music and believe the arts are central to a prospering and vibrant community and that Baltimore is a better place to work and live because the Series adds vitality through inspiring musical performances.

We hope you can help us keep the music playing and wish you a 2012 filled with happy listening!

With warmest regards,

Stephen Jacobsohn

Executive Director
