Update #5

April 16, 2022

Dear Friends of UCBSO,


Last weekend, we surpassed our crowdfunding goal and returned to the stage, sharing our music with two sold-out audiences! From the bottom of our hearts, we want to thank you for your continued support of the UCBSO! All of us at the UCBSO have been blown away by the generosity of our community and patrons. Without you, we would not be able to share our passion for music and do what we love the most. 


A special shoutout goes to our new donors at the $50 level or higher. Thank you to Louise Bidwell, Hilary Goldstine, Elizabeth Keenan, Joel Boardman, Bobby Todd, Patti Selan, and Kathryn Kling. Your donations are going to help bring so many students to Europe this summer! 


Sincerely,

UCBSO Crowdfunding
