7/27/2020

0 Comments

 
We now have a frontrunner among potential logo submissions! AND we're in our final week of accepting submissions. We're hoping to assess our options at the end of THIS WEEK and choose a path forward from there.

We will continue to assess options that come in this week, but we're excited about the ideas presented in this submission from Birtu Lindert-Boyes:

And if you've already submitted one design, you may submit another! Each entry will be entered into our drawing for prizes from Vermont Violins, Buch Spieler and Guitar Sam. 
We will not necessarily use a submitted design for our final logo choice, but we will enjoy every entry and potentially incorporate ideas into our final design. Thanks in advance for joining our logo design team!
Please see guidelines for entries, and options of prizes,  here. Deadline July 31.

Please submit designs by July 31 - or let us know that it's on the way at that time. We may or may not continue to accept designs after that point. And spread the word to everyone you know!
All submissions will be appreciated! The one or two that most represent our ideal, as determined by the Monteverdi Board of Directors and Faculty Members, will win your choice of a gift certificate to Vermont Violins, Guitar Sam, or Buch Spieler Records! Other entries will be entered into a drawing for the remaining gift certificates. ALL entries will be counted!

Please submit designs to recitals@montevedimusic.org (this is not a live link - please paste in your browser!)
Here's a reminder of what we're looking for:
Here's what we're looking for in our new logo:
  • First it must be web friendly and usable as both a logo and a favicon (a favicon is the tiny symbol that shows up in web search results. It's fine if the logo is not square or not identical, as long as there's an option of using it - or a similar version of it, or a portion of it - as a 16 px square. If not usable as both, please submit two versions that are similar to one another).
  • The favicon version must be clearly recognizable at 16 pixels square (5 mm or 3/16 of an inch)
  • Must represent significance  of Monteverdi Music School, including but not limited to: 1) the reference to Green (Verdi) Mountains (Monte) 2) a reference to music and/or the study of music
  • Ideally, please submit in PNG format. If that's not an option, go ahead and submit anyway! We may still use your design as a model for our final version.
  • other details are up to your imagination, and what Monteverdi Music School means to you - and/or what you envision Monteverdi can be in the future!
  • And again - please be in touch by July 31 - thank you for your interest in Monteverdi Music School!

2019 Appeal

12/15/2019

0 Comments

 
Dear Friends of Monteverdi,
It’s been a very exciting year at The Monteverdi Music School.  We are so thankful to music patrons like you who have been part in our activities, taken or enrolled students in music classes, and attended programs organized by Monteverdi and our partners at the Center for Arts and Learning (CAL) at 46 Barre Street.   
Here are some highlights from 2019:
  • In 2019, Monteverdi faculty have engaged over 100 students, unleashing their musical potential through private or group coaching, classes, and workshops.
  • Provided rehearsal and practice facilities for music ensembles and performance groups.
  • Offered scholarships to multiple students to ensure their lessons continued.
  • Expanded and diversified our resident and non-resident faculty and continue to attract some of the finest musicians in Vermont.  
  • Increased opportunities for performances both on and off-site, with the newest being our 2nd Friday of the month Student House Concert at Monteverdi’s home at CAL on Barre Street.
  • The  CAL partners (MMS, TW Wood & River Rock School) took a major leap to improve access to our building with the installation of an elevator that serves all the public use areas, allowing us to offer more on-site programming and events.
  • MMS faculty and volunteers supported numerous events; Montpelier Alive Art Walks, the CAL Halloween Fun Night, collaborations with faculty and arts organizations such as Abundant Silence, and our neighbors at the Montpelier Senior Center. 
In order to ensure we build upon these successes, we need your support.  Your tax-deductible donation affirms your commitment to our goals and mission and ensures Monteverdi’s ability to support ensembles, classes, coaching, and private instructions to all ages.   Of course, we appreciate any contribution that you can comfortably afford, but a gift of $100 or more will help us tremendously as we look to expand our music programs in 2020. 
Whatever your contribution, know that it ensures our music education programs thrive and grow, and strengthens our reputation as the place for high quality musical training and performance in Central Vermont.
We appreciate your support - MMS board members, students, faculty, volunteers, and music aficionados, as we bring professional, amateur, and aspiring musicians together to share their talents and appreciation of music at the Monteverdi Music School.
With thankfulness and best wishes for the holidays,
Karen Songhurst
President, MMS Board of Directors
