StratfordToday received the following letter to the editor from organizers of Stratford Summer Music expressing their thanks to Stratford Council and other groups who have supported it over the years.
We would like to extend our heartfelt appreciation to the City of Stratford Council for its continued support of Stratford Summer Music. The Community Grant we received is essential in enabling us to continue delivering high-quality music performances, educational initiatives, and free events that have delighted Stratford residents and visitors for the past 23 seasons.
We also express our gratitude to our patrons and generous donors who make all this possible. We continue to strive to remain accessible and inclusive, offering more than half of our events free of charge.
In collaboration with Destination Stratford, we are working to expand our programming into the off-season months, aiming to establish Stratford as a year-round destination. Stratford Summer Music kicks off its 24th season on July 18th, and you can find details of this season's events online.
The arts community has faced significant challenges as non-profits like ours strive for sustainable funding models. We've made substantial progress, and it's all thanks to your support.
Thank you for standing by us!
