My name is Ryan Christopher Gourley. I am a senior at Tom C Clark High School and I am organizing an event at my high school as part of an honors independent study mentorship class. On Tuesday, April 17th 2012, a few colleagues of mine and I will be hosting a concert and movie premiere showcasing the work of 4 students in the independent study course (myself included) who chose to study topics in the arts.
We decided to raise money for a charity while planning this event and ended up choosing your charity to donate to. We all have many connections to the organizations you support - Cleo, a violin player, is a member of YOSA, my mother, Noel Merriam-Gourley, works as an arts education coordinator for the San Antonio Museum of Art etc. All of us have been touched by the arts - we are all a part of the Clark Band and Full Orchestra.
I thought that I should let you know of the event ahead of time and how wonderful we think it is that there is a collective charity that we can donate to. I know it is sort of short notice, but if you would like to send a speaker to come talk during the intermission of our event, bring a poster or two, or just provide us with a little bit more information about the Fund, we will be more than willing to help you spread the word about the importance of the arts in San Antonio.
The event is called "An Evening of Music and Film" and will be held in the Clark High School Auditorium on Tuesday, April 17th 2012 at 6:30 pm. The address of Clark High School is 5150 DeZavala, San Antonio, TX 78249. It is a public event - feel free to spread the word, include the event on your website, and promote it in any way. We have a suggested ticket amount of $3 to attend the event (all the money is going to The Fund) and during the intermission we will speak about the importance of the arts and have another opportunity for people to donate. The Facebook event link is here: https://www.facebook.com/events/274720149283258/
The musical selections include advanced violin and piano solos and an advanced Hummel Trio in Eb. The Performers are all seniors at Clark: David Yznaga (Piano Soloist), Cleo Miele (Violin Soloist), Mari Castellano (Cello). The short film will follow after the concert and intermission. It is about acceptance, religious tolerance, and coming to peace with spirituality. It is an original film from scratch - the script, filming, planning, editing, and all of the music are original works by Adan Langbaum and I.
The arts will always stay a large part of our lives. It is because of organizations you support that we have access to wonderful music, art, and the culture of San Antonio. We are all seniors - Cleo and I will go on to study music in college and Adan is going on to study film next year. Thank you so much for existing and supporting one of the most noble causes there is.
Sincerely,
Ryan Christopher Gourley
