Still Time to Help Program the 60th Season
By Peninsula Music Festival
Sep 14, 2011 - 8:53:47 AM
One of the most popular fundraising events of the Peninsula Music Festival is "Help Program the Season". For the second year in a row, Conductor Victor Yampolsky has given the Festival audience a chance to pick the overture that will open the season. The 2011 season opened with Verdi’s Overture to Nabucco. Now it is time for Festival friends to cast their vote for the overture that will open the 60th season in August 2012.
Maestro Yampolsky has designated five different overtures to choose from. Voting began on opening night, August 2, and will continue through September 30 when the winner will be announced. This is one election that you can actually ‘buy’. You can vote for the overture you would most like to hear on Opening Night, Tuesday, August 7, 2012. Each vote costs $1.00 and there is no limit to the amount of votes you cast as long as each vote is accompanied by $1.00.
The five overture choices to open the 60th season of the Peninsula Music Festival are: Smetana’s The Bartered Bride; Zampa by Louis Joseph F. Herold; Semiramide by Gioacchino Rossini; Phedre by Jules Massent; and Mozart’s The Magic Flute. The Festival’s website has the current totals so you can see where your favorite overture stands and cast votes to make sure it wins.
All proceeds raised by the “Help Program the Season” fundraising event are used to support the Peninsula Music Festival’s media broadcasts.
Votes can be cast at the Peninsula Music Festival Office on Cedar Street in Ephraim, by calling the Festival Office at 920-854-4060 or on the Festival’s website at www.musicfestival.com. The Peninsula Music Festival is a professional symphony orchestra presenting nine different concerts in three weeks each August at the Door Community Auditorium in Fish Creek.
