Use any of these Funder Spot choices during your Classical Music Fundraising programming, and especially before or after playing any performance by Jean-Yves Thibaudet. Music Options for before or after the spot are listed below.

BEST PRACTICES: Choose the 2-3 spots you feel are the strongest and rotate them regularly and consistently throughout your fundraising campaign - at least once every other hour. Using this OES strategy, your listeners will hear the most powerful messages enough times for them to resonate and inspire action.

Option 1: As a Self-Contained Spot

FUNDER MESSAGE RUNDOWN, TRANSCRIPT, TIMINGS and MUSIC INFORMATION

Music Bed: Ravel - Alborado del gracioso (London/Decca 433 515)

Intro: Travel can be a demanding part of the musician's life: hotel rooms that all look the same, jet lag and the endless wait for your luggage. But for pianist Jean-Yves Thibaudet, travel is a perk.

Jean-Yves Thibaudet Clip: "When I go into countries like Brazil, like Argentina, like Portugal, Spain with Flamenco, I'm always fascinated by their local music. I go to bars if I can, or where they have concerts and things. And you learn so much from all those different outputs. I feel it's like adding a little bit of spice in my recipes, you know? And that's really cool."

Outro: You can always hear cool and spicy music on Public Radio, thanks to your financial support. Please make a contribution, and thank you. (Text out at 0:39)
