Maximum ~~0 war~a,12-point fort, The Islander chamber lVlusic Series assembles prvfesiona~ musicians from corpus Christi to present freer high-quality chamber music performances. ~orrned in fall ~~~~, the ensembles already presented four well~received local peormance and one concert tour, initial support came from the department and none-tune donor, with substantial contributions made by some of the musicians themselves. Because of university budget cuts, outside support i required to present future concerts. A strong base of audience rnernbers is anticipating future performances. fur audience members span all ages: families with rnal! children, public school and university students, Uvinter Texans, and many others. I~IIe look forward, through increased publicity, to reaching an even broader audience. All of the ensembles' professional musicians are also teachers. Thus, we feel a strong commitment to furthering rr~usic education in our pity. By keeping the performances free, students and families may attend without cost concerns Local music teachers will be invited to bring their classes to the concerts and to open rehearal o that students may observe the rehearsal process. The Performing Arts tenter i an extraordinary venue for chamber music; although it seats 1 ego, the acoustics and physical environment allow small ensembles to perform successfully. Funding far the arks is limited, o we are relying on the city to support this project. As university artd public school teachers, current opportunities for financial support are limited primarily to the city grant prararn and to cur supporting institutions. As the ensembles are nurtured, opportunities for ether grants will become possible, as well. T~ ~ c.t., ~~ Hoyt ~P~a,1'd ~~-o 5 ~ v~ n q~ ~ Y' 'ant
