Other News/Reminders
The 2nd Annual Watershed Event was a great success thanks to all of you. More than 200 people attended and we raised over $3,000. We’ve had many rave reviews from audience members – here’s one that was sent the next day: “I wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed the concert last night. It was absolutely WONDERFUL, every last minute. I was pleased to learn a little more about Watershed. It sounds like a really special place to be.”
And for those who haven’t heard, the spring auction raised more than $7,000.
Congratulations to Nathan Hillman who won 2nd place in the Bagaduce Young Composers Competition for his String Quartet No. 2 in A flat major, second movement.
