Dear SSMA Supporter,

Music Matters, our annual, signature fundraising event, was cancelled last fall due to the pandemic. Music Matters is an evening dedicated to honoring an individual from the field of music whose work serves the community of Central New York. In light of the unusual events of 2020, we would like to honor you, our supporters, as SSMA Ovation People of the Year! You helped us continue our work through your membership, monetary donations, Encore Thrift Shop patronage, and abiding engagement with Central New York music organizations. Highlighting our success during this difficult year, we were able to support Symphoria with a $10,000 sponsorship, we anticipate extending thousands of dollars in grants to local non-profit music organizations this winter, and we look forward to selecting two winners for our yearly Sally Whittle Memorial Scholarship this spring. 

In lieu of an in-person Music Matters event, we are offering this virtual, on-line only Silent Auction, featuring many valuable donated items, allowing you to bid from the safety of your home.

We thank you most sincerely for your kind support! Let the Music Continue!

Board of Directors, Syracuse Sounds of Music
