A Message from Genie Ware

Dear friends, 

 

I will be brief.  I consider music one of life’s necessities.  Attending concerts is a much-needed respite from life’s challenges for me and, I hope, for you, too. Music touches me in ways that words and thoughts do not. Music can help us through…

 

I am reminded of a quote from the 19th century German philosopher, Friedrich Nietzsche:

 

“Without music life would be a mistake.”

 

I am grateful for the privilege of being able to attend Pro Arte concerts. They offer interesting, diverse repertoire, both in full orchestral and chamber music settings, and all in Newton. 

 

We are Pro Arte: Intimate, Inspiring. Local.

 

I hope that you will attend our upcoming Pro Arte concerts this season, as well as those of other extraordinary groups in our area.  We need our music-makers. We also need support from you, both as attendees and as donors.

 

No musical group breaks even with tickets sales alone. We require grants from various sources and donations from our audience members. So, please consider making a gift to Pro Arte.  Every amount is gratefully accepted. We need you!

 

Help Pro Arte continue to make beautiful music for you and the community. Help us be assured that life is not “…a mistake.”

 

May you have healthy and happy holidays,

​
