Aeolian Campaign 2024

Over the last 20 years, The Aeolian (thanks in large part to our Donors) has become a major contributor to live music performance and music education in our city.

  • Aeolian Hall is now a sought-after venue for major artists, featuring excellent acoustics and production facilities.
  • The El Sistema Aeolian program now serves 150 children of limited means with free music instruction and both choral and orchestral training.
  • The Aeolian Pride Chorus program offers choral programs (and fun concerts!) to a diverse group of those who just want to sing out.

At the very time we need to advance our offerings, one of our major funding sources (Government funding) has gone to almost zero.  We expect this continue.

This will not stop us – we will continue to serve our community.  Will you help us get there?

December is a crucial month in fundraising.   We need a strong start to 2025.  And we can offer you a year-end tax receipt.

Will you please help us now?  You may choose to direct your donations to:

  • El Sistema Aeolian:  Currently with a waiting list of 30 – instruments required!  Give the Gift of Music to a young student eager to learn.
  • The General Campaign: Our focus is on environmental upgrades (windows, floor repairs) and equipment purchases to allow for increased revenue opportunities in 2025.
  • Aeolian Pride Chorus: Directed to purchasing music for the Choir.

Please direct your donations through Canada Helps or by cheque to our box office.

  • No gift is too small.
  • Monthly giving helps us plan with certainty.

Be a part of growing our community.   Thank you for your help!

giving to aeolian hall

At Aeolian Hall, we celebrate the generosity of our donors and volunteers.

We thrive because of the thoughtful contributions of many. We are humbled by your kindness and pleased that you share our mission.

We treat every gift as special, no matter the size. A small gift for today, a larger gift for the year, or a long term pledge to ensure a sustained legacy all play a role in in building a better community.

Vital programs like El Sistema Aeolian – our free after-school music program for children and youth who do have access to affordable music education – are shaping the lives of our next generation of leaders and philanthropists: our participants care about the community, the environment, and the world they live in: just like you.
