A thank you fundraiser to bring the Hynsons' dream finale season to life.
What’s this all about?
Music Director Richard Hynson and Assistant Conductor and Accompanist Michelle Hynson are retiring in June of 2024. After decades of purpose-driven service and care for Bel Canto’s musical community of audience members and singers…. ….it’s our turn to say thank you by bringing their dream finale season to life. Be part of Set the Stage, a 2023-24 season fundraiser. |
What’s the goal?
$70,000
The 2023-24 season program contains artistic elements beyond normal season costs. An additional $70,000 will provide for instrumentalists, vocal soloists, and more. A full orchestra and a special venue are planned for Richard and Michelle’s finale performance featuring Edward Elgar’s rarely performed Dream of Gerontius.
