CHAMBER MUSIC IN ADELAIDE JUL-DEC 2018

BE A CMA CHAMPION! SUPPORT CHAMBER MUSIC ADELAIDE Chamber Music Adelaide (CMA) is passionately committed to forging innovative collaborations and expanding relationships with musicians and audiences alike. To do this we need champions! CMA’s vision is to take a version of its award-winning event, On the Terrace, to regional South Australia. The costs for that are significantly more than staging the event in and around the cultural boulevard along North Terrace. We also want to continue providing touch tours for blind and vision impaired patrons to experience the event. Pre-performance Touch Tours, done by professional audio describers, allows blind and vision impaired patrons to feel the instruments to be played and to discern the different sounds and tones each instrument makes, before enjoying the performance itself. Be a CMA Champion. Please give whatever you can to help CMA achieve its vision. Visit chambermusicadelaide.com.au and click the ‘DONATE’ tab.

CMA was formed in January 2013 to support the performance of chamber music by seven core organisations – Adelaide Baroque, Ensemble Galante, Kegelstatt Ensemble, Recitals Australia, Soundstream New Music, The Firm and Various People Inc. In addition, it supports and promotes a wider remit of chamber music performers and presenters in South Australia.

The Chamber Music Adelaide Public Fund is endorsed as a tax deductible fund listed on the Register of Cultural Organisations under Subdivision 30-B of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997. DONATIONS OF $2.00 OR MORE ARE TAX DEDUCTIBLE
