A year ago, the Lake Champlain Chamber Music Festival was still just a dream. Over the past eight months, a community has come together to create and support Soovin’s Dream. We would like to thank all of the contributors that made our first festival possible.

We did our best to use their money wisely.

The generous contributions of these donors completely covered the essential costs of the first season -- the musicians, their housing, and all the direct production costs for the concerts and workshops. All the food and beverages for the receptions, postage, printing, and other non-essential items were either underwritten or donated in-kind. We hope you will also consider joining our donor honor roll. All future contributions will be used to cover the essential costs of the 2010 Festival.

Launching the Festival

To ensure the success of the Festival, the Board raised enough money to cover all of the 2009 Festival expenses prior to the start of the first Festival. The income from the 2009 Festival tickets will be used as a start for supporting the 2010 Festival. We ask donors to consider making a pledge to guarantee the success and future growth of the Festival. Please support us in our goal to raise $100,000 for our 2010 Festival.

Founders Circle

Members of the Founders Circle are asked to make a single contribution of at least $5,000 or an annual contribution of $1,000 or more for the first five years of the Festival. Members of the Founders Circle can take pride in knowing that they helped, in a major way, to turn Soovin’s Dream into reality!
