The Lira Ensemble - Donations

We are delighted to serve in this important role of making the best of Polish culture available through cooperation with foremost American institutions. Some examples:

when the Sarasota Opera in Florida decided to present Stanislaw Moniuszko‘s opera “Halka,” it hired Lira to provide choreography and dancers - and won rave reviews…
when WFMT, Chicago’s classical music station, wanted to produce a series of programs about the history of Polish music for the nationally syndicated “Exploring Music” program with Bill McGlaughlin, it consulted with Lira on what music to present and aired Lira recordings as part of the series…
when the Art Institute of Chicago, the Smart Gallery of the University of Chicago, and the Loyola University Chicago Museum of Art needed appropriate concerts to accompany Polish exhibits, they turned to Lira, with great success…
when the US Holocaust Museum in Washington, DC presented its first-ever week of Polish-American programming, it opened the week with a concert by Lira…
when the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor chose the subject of Polish folk music for one of its prestigious Copernican Lectures, it invited Lira to give a lecture/concert…
when Holy Name Cathedral in Chicago requires appropriate Polish sacred music for a particular occasion, it calls the Lira office…

…and this is just a partial list.

Some of these projects pay for themselves, but many do not. Yet we believe all of this work is essential and should be done.

Therefore, we respectfully ask for your donation so that the Lira Ensemble may continue what we hope you agree is a very important function, one that truly helps all Americans understand and appreciate the beauty and value of our thousand-year-old Polish heritage.

Your donation is fully tax deductible and we will provide a receipt for tax purposes.

Sincerely,

Donald W. Grabowski, Sr. Lucyna Migala

Chairman of the Board of Directors Co-Founder, Artistic Director & General Manager

We also respectfully ask that you remember the Lira Ensemble when you write or update your will.
