General Announcements
"Ode to Joy" Music Garden
Dear Colleagues,
Many of you have been an important part of the Music Therapy program at Augsburg College over the past 40 years. We are delighted to announce that we are inaugurating the Master of Music Therapy degree with an emphasis on health care this fall. We will be celebrating the 40th anniversary of the Music Therapy program during Homecoming with a special dinner on Friday, September 26. Please save the date and watch for registration details.
In celebration of both the 40th anniversary and the beginning of the Master's program, we hope to install three beautiful outdoor instruments by the Music Hall. We are calling this the "Ode to Joy" Music Garden. You may recall that this project originated as part of last year's Give to the Max Day at Augsburg. You may access more information about these instruments at the following website:
http://freenotesharmonypark.com/
In order to make this dream a reality, we are seeking your donation through a generous contribution of $250. This amount will include your name on our commemorative plaque. At the present time, we need an additional 16 contributions in this amount, or the equivalent of $4,000. Please click here to make your gift today or visit: https://fog.augsburg.edu/sslpage.aspx?pid=514.
Of course, we will accept your donation in any amount. This small beginning at Augsburg College is a part of a larger vision for engaging inter-generational play at public parks throughout the Twin Cities. There are already two similar installations at Jackson Park in Northeast Minneapolis and at the Maple Grove Rotary Music Park.
Our goal is to raise the remaining funds by August 1, 2014 in order to install our instruments by the end of September for our 40th Anniversary celebration. Thank you to everyone who has already generously supported this "Ode to Joy" Music Garden project--we hope you will join us in this joyful celebration!
Sing your heart out!
Roberta S. Kagin
Director of Music Therapy
