Please support our (ONLY) 2018 Fundraiser!
Arts organizations like Odyssey cannot sustain itself without YOUR support!
This is the only fundraiser we have this calendar year - because we would rather you spend the time enjoying all the cultural events taking place in your area. Please consider giving to Odyssey this year, because we not only serve Columbia with abundant joy of quality chamber music, but also puts our community on the map with the Plowman Chamber Music Competition, a prominent national event now in its 9th year. We love what we do - both performing and supporting musicians just like us; won't you help us continue our cause?
Donation Link is open on "Giving Tuesday" November 20nd, then the entire month of Decmeber, 1st through the 31st. Our goal is to 'win' extra funds from the Columbia Foundation with your help: The varying criterias include (as an example): Most Improved Performance -Most People Donate - Most People who gave above $200,
etc.

A very generous donor has donated the painting from the 2017 Plowman to be auctioned again to benefit Odyssey Chamber Music Series!
Odyssey commissions original artwork from a local artist to be featured in Plowman Chamber Music Competition posters, which are distributed nationwide. 2017 artist is Naomi Sugino Lear, art professor from Columbia College, who also used to play a woodwind instrument. Her artist statement will follow (below). The painting is framed in a black floating frame with gold trim. Size is approximately 26.5 in. height x 32.5 in. wide, including the frame. The painting has been signed and varnished. (Note: This picture was taken before it was varnished.) The actual painting contains bright burgundy reds and has lush luster which would compliment any home very well. |
