Vancouver Symphony reaches goal
Scott Milam
In just over two
weeks, the response by concert-goers and local businesses to The
Vancouver Symphony Orchestra's April "Save the Music" campaign has
helped the orchestra surpass its goal of $20,000 by April 30 with
eighteen days to go, Interim Executive Director Scott Milam
announced this week. "The reaction from our audience has been extraordinary," Milam said. "While $20,000 was the amount needed for us to maintain our May concert, every dollar contributed now works toward helping us mount a sensational 32nd season starting this October."
