Dear Supporters,
Thank you for your important contribution of time and energy! The Songbird Festival would like to thank all of you for the seen and unseen support and time you have provided to the Summer Session of the 2010 Songbird Festival 3rd ries. Big thank you and gratitude to the patrons, venues, musicians, graphic and technology volunteers, visual performance artists, co-presenters, emcees, promoters, stage managers and humble swans “you know who you areâ€.
Activities such as this really make a difference in making diverse programming from emerging to virtuoso performance and visual art accessible and affordable.
The first year of planning started in 2008 and each year as the founder of this festival I gain so much positive insight, knowledge and new life skills from working with such a diverse group of individuals who may be strangers, acquaintances, new friends, old friends, creative counterparts or simply folks just sharing in participating in the programming.
Once again, thank you for your time. The Songbird Festival will continue to support efforts across the bay area to make music, visual and performance art accessible for participants and patrons.
The 5 week series ends 8/22.
Throughout fourth quarter of this year a “new layer of skin” will be added to keep the birds humming that will involve a virtual community space where co-presenters and performers can keep the spirit of pushing the enveope and creating a space for performers of various levels to dialogue and recommend performance and visual art venues, performers and events.
The Fourth round of series will begin in November 2010 that will include a four month co-presented event in the Mission and a few co-presenter series throughout 2011 leading up to the fifth round of the Songbird Festival Present series to be held next November.
Hope to see you at the closing party on 8/22 at Amnesia. For more info check out www.songbirdfestival.org you can also get information about all of the amazing performers and what they are up to next by checking out the urls listed on the festival website see week by week for their specific contact info.
If you have photos, mp3s, jpegs of flyers or any form of visual documentation please share it so that it can be used to obtain funding in the near future for this non-profit project.
Sincerely,
Songbird Festival Founder
