Fundraising Voices: Funders - Joshua Bell (Perfect Circle)
From: Listener Directed Productions, Inc.
Length: :27
Use this Funder Spot during your classical music fundraising, but especially before or after playing almost any performance by Joshua Bell. There are plenty of fund drive friendly music options from JB's discography. His most recent recording is the Vivaldi Four Seasons (Sony 711013). Additional options include tracks from "Voices of the Violin" (Sony Classical 1SK97779) and "Romance of the Violin" (Sony Classical 87894). See his complete discography at arkivmusic.com.
FUNDER TRANSCRIPT: "Music is an art that's fundamentally about feeling, and we performers, through the works of the great composers, are in the business of articulating feeling on the absolutely highest level of human experience. You can't make it a perfect circle if you don't have an audience receiving the feeling and giving it back to you. I'm violinist Joshua Bell. Let's all make great music together. Please complete the circle by making a contribution to your Public Radio station. Thank you."
SUGGESTED HOST OUTRO: Please call (insert station phone number), or make your contribution online at (insert station web address). Complete the listening-funding circle by making your contribution to (insert station name) right now.
