WE NEED YOUR SUPPORT! Even after 35 years, SCBF operates on an annually generated break-even budget. Our daily operations are managed by 1 part-time manager and our Board of Directors (all volunteers). We contract a graphic designer, bookkeeper, and web designer for specialized tasks, and rely on volunteers to assist at concerts. We work very hard each year to re-generate our season funds. Ticket sales only make up for a small portion of our income, and it takes a community effort to sustain local arts organizations. Here is how our local community helps us and how you can help as well:

COME TO OUR CONCERTS -- As a non-profit, our Director's and Board's principal objective for over 3 decades has been to bring early classical music to AUDIENCES - that is YOU. We are happy when our halls are filled and welcome you to our events.
