a virtual fundraising performance in support of the

Fargo-Moorhead Symphony Orchestra December 15 - January 3, 2020

HELP US KEEP

THE MUSIC PLAYING.

At this challenging time people are turning to art -for inspiration, relief, and hope.

The Fargo-Moorhead Symphony Orchestra, an anchor in the cultural landscape of the metro area for over 90 years, needs your support now more than ever. Your gift helps us share extraordinary symphonic and chamber music and one-of-a-kind music education experiences with our community today, and for many years to come.

TO MAKE A GIFT:

text FMSO to 44321 or visit our website at

www.fmsymphony.org THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT!

Perspectives from the Chairman of the Board of Trustees Welcome to the 2020-2021 season of the Fargo-Moorhead Symphony Orchestra! It is our 89th year serving this community, and it will be a year like no other. During the first half of 2020, the FMSO and the rest of the world have had to face the far-reaching effects of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. I would like to thank the entire FMSO staff, orchestra, and Board of Trustees for being proactive in their efforts to protect the health and wellbeing of each other by practicing social distancing, transitioning to online meetings, and making necessary accommodations for the musicians on and off the stage.

Our mission is “Enriching our community through the power of live music that educates, entertains, and inspires.” This year, we will look to achieve the “power of live music” portion leveraging the “power of technology” in ways we have not done so before, creating what we hope will be a unique concert experience for all of you. I am excited to get the most of out of our Reimagined season, and we hope you will enjoy the new format. As always, we welcome and encourage your feedback as we learn and navigate these uncharted waters.

I would also like to thank all of you, our patrons, volunteers, donors, and sponsors, who help keep arts organizations like the FMSO alive in this community, especially during these challenging times. In my tenure on the Board I have heard many, many stories of how the FMSO and music in general have impacted or even changed people’s lives. Music truly is inspiring, and it is a gift we hope to continue offering to this community for many years to come.

Please enjoy this year’s Masterworks season, and stay safe, stay healthy!

Mike Aasen

Perspectives from the Executive Director The global pandemic has taken a huge toll on the performing arts. Musicians want very much to perform for live audiences, and patrons enjoy hearing live music. Because of the pandemic, of course, live concerts simply are not possible these days. And yet, the importance of music in our lives has never felt more present. The arts are inextricably intertwined with everything we do in life, and I would say that music is at the top of the list of the arts we miss the most. People sang when the Berlin Wall fell. What is the most famous piece of art in the world? Is it Michelangelo’s David? The Mona Lisa? Or maybe the opening refrain of Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony? I know what my answer is.

Thank you for recognizing the importance of music in your own life, and in the fabric of the F-M area.

We are proud to make this area a better place to live and work, and we are delighted to be making music again. At the beginning of this year, no one thought of a reimagined Masterworks concert, with an orchestra of only 15, performed before no audience, with the “concert” being sent to your computer, tablet, or smart TV, but the creativity of Music Director Christopher Zimmerman and the commitment of our talented musicians have overcome the obstacles thrown at us.

Thank you for your support of the FMSO, and for your concern both for your own safety and for the safety of our musicians. We hope you enjoy being Home for the Holidays with the FMSO. We have been making music in this area for 89 years, and we plan on being here for a long time to come.

With warmest wishes for your holidays,

Paul R. Hegland Executive Director

THE FARGO-MOORHEAD SYMPHONY ENDOWMENT FUND The Cadenza Fund was established in 1981 to provide for the future stability of the Symphony. Since that time, many people have contributed generously to the fund. Annual proceeds from this fund support the general operations of the Fargo-Moorhead Symphony Orchestra. All three funds are ND Certified Endowment Funds, which qualify donors for a state income tax credit under current state law.

The Cadenza Fund

This is the major fund within the Endowment, which supports the general operations of the symphony.

Our Endowment Policy states that 3.55 of a 3-year rolling value of the fund will be the automatic annual draw, with an additional 1.5% available through majority vote of the Board. No further draws on the principal or earnings may be made.
