Editor, Gazette-Journal:
As we approach our last concert of the 2023-2024 Concerts By The Bay series, I would like to take this time to send out my sincere “Thank You” to so many. This season was a unique year of diverse performances taking you back to the Big Band orchestra, some old-time jazz, Motown, some Doo Wop, and Rock & Roll, as well as a unique blend of classical music, ragtime, and some boogie-woogie.
Thank you to our subscribers and friends who have supported us financially. You are the ones who help us bring quality musical programs to our rural community and to our children through school programs and free admittance to Concerts By The Bay performances.
We are also grateful to the Gloucester and Mathews Community Foundations for their supportive grants which are matched by the Virginia Commission for the Arts that enable us to present programs in our local schools.
Gratitude is expressed to our wonderful local business partners who purchase ads for our program booklets...
