MASSENA -- Massena Music Friends seeks sponsors for the Orchestra of Northern New Dec. 10 holiday concert at Massena High School.

The group is looking for local businesses and service organizations to help cover the cost of the concert so that all ticket sales will benefit school music programs.

To date, half of the concert fee has been raised, with the balance needed by Nov. 11.

This year's concert, "Holiday Magic," will feature the Massena High School Mixed Choir, under the direction of Chris Lincoln.

"What a wonderful opportunity it is for our young people to perform with a professional orchestra," says concert co-chair Carol Pulley.

Colleen Skull, a Canadian mezzo-soprano and member of the Crane Artist Faculty, will also be featured on the program of popular, sacred and secular holiday favorites.

Sponsorship levels start at $100 (bronze) and include $250 (silver), $500 (gold), and $1,000 (aluminum) levels, although donations of any amount are welcome, said concert co-chair Susanne Daye.

Benefits vary according to level of giving, and include recognition in the concert's program, on the poster and lobby signage, tickets to the event, and acknowledgement from the stage prior to the concert.

To contribute, mail a check payable to Massena Music Friends to PO Box 83, Massena, NY 13662.

For a tax-deductible donation, make it payable to the Northern New York Community Foundation and mail it to Massena Music Friends.
