GIVE LOCAL YORK! May 6, 2022

For over 25 years, the Hanover Symphony Orchestra has added to the cultural life of our area by delivering uplifting performances of fine music to our audiences, performing benefit concerts for other non-profits like the Eichelberger Performing Arts Center and the Hanover Area Red Cross, and offering educational opportunities for Hanover’s youth through scholarships, the Walter Janusz Memorial Fellowship Program, and HSO Kids! We could not have done all these wonderful things without the generous support of community members like yourself, and we thank you for that.
        
As you are aware, the Covid-19 pandemic has hurt non-profit organizations financially. Due to quarantines, arts groups like the HSO were particularly hurt by the restrictions of the past two years. Throughout the pandemic, we have worked hard to remain a viable community group, first by offering free livestream concerts during the 2020-2021 season, then by returning to live performances this season. Throughout this time, we have improved the musical quality of the orchestra immensely by adding talented new musicians to our violin, viola, cello, bass, flute, bassoon, French horn, and percussion sections. We have also been able to grow our audiences back to pre-pandemic levels. Our audience sizes have QUADRUPLED from fall, 2021 to spring 2022!

Only one more thing remains to happen to bring the HSO back to 100% health: a return to pre-pandemic levels of financial support from our community. On May 6, 2022, you have a great opportunity to help our wonderful orchestra in this area when Give Local York Day takes place. Can we count on you to participate in Give Local York Day by making a contribution to the Hanover Symphony Orchestra on May 6? Just visit givelocalyork.org on May 6, and choose Hanover Symphony Orchestra as the non-profit you would like to support. We have so many wonderful things planned for the Hanover community during the 2022-2023 season. With your help, a successful Give Local York Day will help us fulfill our mission, playing our part in making Hanover a better community!

With Gratitude,
