–  Solo performers and specialty acts
–  Season brochure and program books
–  Two additional musicians for the season (funded by the Friends’ Ruggieri Society)
–  Extra musicians for the augmented Orchestra
–  Accommodations for visiting performers
–  Purchase and rental of musical scores
–  Additional rehearsals

We welcome and thank you for your support. and hope you will support us in 2010 also.
