Announcing Our:
Bridge to Growth 2023
Fundraising Campaign
The heart of St. Croix Valley Opera lies in our dedication to our community. Our number one goal is to bring Opera in all of its rich forms to that community through creative programming and educational opportunities.
​
With St. Croix Valley Opera's 2023 "Bridge to Growth" fundraising campaign during the month of November, we hope to raise a total of $15,000 to help us move into the 2024 season with the financial momentum to accomplish our goals. Our future lies ahead of us now – and we have marvelous plans for it – including a full summer of activities in 2024 which consists of our Figaro for Kids in-school tour, Summer Vocal Institute, Opera on the River 2024 Vocal Competition, Opera on the River 2024 Performing Arts Fair, and our flagship event; Opera on the River 2024 Grand Concert, just to name a few.
​
​But wait! There's more! At the heart of our annual "Bridge to Growth" fundraising campaign is our "By Special Request" fundraising concert. This is an event where our co-founders, Megan Wagner and Obed Floan invite artists from the current season to join them on stage and perform YOUR requests. The request line opens in October to give you time to think of your perfect request from the standard repertoire for a modest donation of $50 or more, then the artists assemble a program from YOUR requests and perform them for you in November. This year's concert is set for November 11th!
