FUNDER MESSAGE RUNDOWN, TRANSCRIPT and TIMINGS

Music:  Vaughan Williams "Lark Ascending"

Intro: For some performers, it's not all about the applause and the prestige of playing on the great concert stages of the world.  For violinist Hilary Hahn, it's all about you.

Hilary Hahn Clip:  "I would really like people to just enjoy the music, and maybe get away from their daily lives a little bit or, have a chance to sit and think in peace and quiet.  I think it's rare these days that people have a chance to just be someplace where there are very few distractions."

Outro: Give something back to your Public Radio station so performers like Hilary Hahn can continue to give you the peace and enjoyment of classical music everyday.  Please make a contribution. (Text out at 0:46)

Additional fundraising messages are available from Virtuoso Voices(tm), an interview clip service for classical music stations, presenting today's preeminent classical music performers, conductors and composers talking in 15 to 35 second sound bites. These topical and evergreen clips enable announcers to bring an additional insider's perspective to the music they introduce and play on their shifts.

Virtuoso Voices(tm) is also Public Radio's primary source for classical music fundraising messages. Each month, subscribing stations receive at least two different fundraising spots read by the performers we interview. Twice a year, we provide your station with fully produced fundraising messages with options enabling you to customize each spot to the specific sound and fundraising terminology of your station.

The produced fundraising messages are distributed in February and September in advance of when most stations fundraise, including the nationally coordinated drive. Stations may request custom fundraising scripts read by the performers we interview. We fill these requests whenever possible and in the order in which they are received.
