Aeolian Campaign 2025

ANNOUNCING…THE AEOLIAN FALL FUNDRAISING CAMPAIGN!

Music That Transforms. Community That Lasts

Building the Future of Music and Community Together

For over 20 years, The Aeolian has stood as a beacon of music, education, and belonging in London. Thanks to your generosity, we’ve grown into a place where children discover their voices, artists share world-class performances, and communities come together in song and solidarity.

Now, we invite you to be part of our most ambitious chapter yet.

This Fall, our campaign unites two vital goals under one vision:

🎶 El Sistema Aeolian
For 14 years, El Sistema Aeolian has been transforming young lives. More than a music program, it’s a movement that breaks down barriers and gives over 100 children access to free orchestral and choral training. Beyond musical skill, it teaches leadership, inclusiveness, and confidence. With 30 students still on the waiting list and grants nearly gone, your gift ensures no child is turned away from this life-changing program.

🏛️ Aeolian Hall: Owning Our Future
Retiring the mortgage on Aeolian Hall is about more than paying off debt — it’s about securing a future where every dollar serves our mission, not the bank. Freeing up $27,000 annually means more concerts, more education, more impact. Your gift today becomes a lasting legacy, multiplying its effect for generations.

Why Your Gift Matters

Your support creates ripple effects far beyond today:

It places instruments in the hands of children who could not otherwise afford them.
It sustains a world-class venue that belongs to the community.
It raises voices of inclusion, acceptance, and joy.

✨ Every dollar strengthens our mission of building community through music.
✨ Donations over $20 receive a charitable tax receipt.
✨ Monthly giving ensures stability and helps us plan with confidence.

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.

owning our future

Retiring Our Mortgage, Owning Our Future

Eliminating our mortgage represents far more than just paying off debt – it’s about securing our organization’s future and maximizing our impact in the community we serve.

Every dollar currently tied up in mortgage payments is a dollar that could be directed towards our core mission and the people who depend on our services. By helping us become debt-free, you’re not just making a one-time investment – you’re creating a lasting legacy that will free up about $27,000 annually for years to come, allowing us to expand programs, reach more beneficiaries, and respond more quickly to emerging needs.

Your contribution today will multiply its impact many times over, transforming from a generous gift into a perpetual source of good that strengthens our ability to fulfill our mission for generations to come.

Every dollar directly supports our mission of building community through music. Donations over $20 are eligible for a tax receipt.

Please direct your donation through Canada Helps, by calling our Box Office at 519-672-7950 or mailing a cheque to Aeolian Hall, 795 Dundas Street, London, Ontario, N5W 2Z6.

EMPOWERING YOUTH, STRENGTHENING COMMUNITIES

HELP US KEEP THE MUSIC PLAYING

Over the last 14 years, El Sistema Aeolian has been in the transformation business. This free, intensive music education program focuses on providing music education to children who otherwise face financial barriers to music education. But it’s more than just teaching music. It brings children together into a community of musicians, teaches them leadership skills, and invests in growing responsible citizens.

El Sistema Aeolian values musical skill. And it values social engagement, inclusiveness, leadership, teamwork, problem-solving, and self-confidence. The program is so much more than a music program.

With over 100 students registered for the fall and 30 on the waiting list, we see grants going to almost zero, but we won’t allow that to stop this program.

Your donation directly supports:

The current roster of 100 students
add 15 new students spaces
maintain and repair instruments
pay our qualified instructors
provide snacks and program materials

Every dollar supports our mission of empowering our youth through music. Donations over $20 are eligible for a tax receipt.

Please direct your donation through Canada Helps, by calling our Box Office at 519-672-7950 or mailing a cheque to Aeolian Hall, 795 Dundas Street, London, Ontario, N5W 2Z6
