Post-Concert Reception and School Funding Opportunities

Olympus Junior High School Auditorium2217 East 4800 South · Holladay, UT

n behalf of the Gi�ed Music School, it is my great honor to invite you to sponsor the annual gala and concert. All proceeds will benefit the Gi�ed Music School’s Student Programs and assist the school as it opens its new location. The Gala is slated for Saturday, May 16, 2015 and will feature a Sponsor’s reception and concert by the Gi�ed Music School Conservatory Orchestra followed by an audience reception.

About Gi�ed Music SchoolKnowing Utah’s strong culture of arts appreciation and support, Dr. Vera Oussetskaia Watanabe and Salt Lake City native and award-winning performing artist Eugene Watanabe established the Gi�ed Music School in 2008 believing that Utah could become the national center for a rigorous children’s music training program. We currently teach 322 students ages 3 to 18 across three divisions – The Conservatory, the Preparatory Division and new this year, the public school program at Mountain View Elementary School in the Glendale neighborhood. Extensive data shows that when kids receive a music education, they increase their problem solving ability, become more productive and generally do be�er in life. More than creating top musicians that go on to study at the world’s top conservatories, the Gi�ed Music School’s goal is to create leaders and citizens who enhance the societies in which they live and work.

Make Your Dollars Work Twice as HardIndividuals and companies can double their impact at this year’s Gala. The school has received a challenge grant that will match dollar-for-dollar all sponsorship gi�s of $1,000 and higher. The anonymous donor seeks to encourage all donors to stretch this year to support the Gi�ed Music School’s vital mission. Cumulative gi�s to the Gi�ed Music School for our fiscal year (June 1, 2014 to May 30, 2015) will be counted toward the sponsorship levels. Please give generously this year and make twice the impact. Sponsorship benefits include private performances offered by Gi�ed Music School students.

PLEASE SPONSOR THE GALA TODAY
