Use any of these Funder Spot choices during your classical music fundraising programming, and especially before or after playing any performance by Matt Haimovitz.  Music suggestions 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 and TIMINGS

Music Bed:  Bach Cello Suite No. 3 (II)

Intro:  Cellist Matt Haimovitz has taken the Bach Cello Suites out of the concert hall and into the bar, bistro and club scene:  and, no surprise, the audience likes what they’ve been served.

Haimovitz Clip:  "I remember the first time watching a man with a half-eaten hamburger and kind of chewing on fries you know, in time to the dance movements and at first, it was a distraction but it just became part of the fabric of what we were doing and the idea of eating and drinking and laughing and moving, it’s all part of what’s in this music.  So, it seems very natural to me now."

Outro:  Something to enjoy, something to think about and something to chew on:  it’s a typical day in the life of your Public Radio station.  Listen... Contribute... Enjoy.   (Text out at 0:55)
