March 28, 2010 marked our 20^th anniversary at LACMA and our 5^th anniversary as an official program of LACMA. We hope you will join us often for these free performances and broadcasts.

Previous to our official status with LACMA, the artistic and production costs were underwritten by the Los Angeles Department of Cultural Affairs. But those halcyon days of municipal support are behind us now, and we find that, once again, we must turn to our listeners and friends to help keep Sundays Live alive.

Did you know that for as little as $1,000 you can sponsor a broadcast? You can personally be a sponsor, or underwrite a broadcast in honor or in memory of a friend or loved one. Or share sponsorship with a friend. Any celebration is a fine opportunity to give a gift of music, (wedding, anniversary, birthday, etc.) especially if the honoree loves classical music, does not need another pair of pajamas and would enjoy hearing his/her name, along with yours, linked with Sundays Live and acknowledged to hundreds of thousands of people. We'll credit your sponsorship in the printed programs and schedules, on our live stream and on the web, as well as include you in special “members only” events now and throughout the year.

As a Sponsor, you will automatically be enrolled as a Friend of Sundays Live. Your tax-deductible and generous $1,000 donation to underwrite a concert will entitle you to placement at the highest level of giving; your name will appear each week in our program at the head of the listing of Friends. The Friends are a viable and hard-working volunteer group, serving as an essential catalyst in support of these broadcasts. Their fundraising efforts have allowed us to survive, and your membership will bolster this support.

I am most happy to personally discuss these exciting possibilities of support with you, and answer any questions you may have... Please call me at LACMA (323) 857-6234, or email me.
