First-Annual Fortissimo: A Celebration of Music and Music Makers: Gala and Fundraising Concert
Sponsored by MTC & CatskillsAir
June 13, 2024
You are invited to help make history at Margaretville Central School!
We are thrilled to announce the first-ever Fortissimo Gala Reception and Fundraising Concert, a night of musical excellence, community celebration, and support for the musical opportunities for MCS students. This inaugural event will take place on Thursday, June 13th, and we hope to share the excitement with you.
Fortissimo—meaning “very strong” in musical terms—is a fitting name for an event that promises to make a big impact. The concert will feature performances by accomplished students and renowned professional musicians from the area, showcasing the vibrant talent within our district and the greater MCS Community.
The evening will commence with a formal, gala-reception at 5:30 PM, where guests can enjoy hors d'oeuvres and beverages and mingle with fellow supporters of the arts, the music students and the staff. The concert will follow at 7:00 PM, offering a diverse program ranging from classical masterpieces to contemporary hits performed by some of MCS’s most talented student musicians and professionals like Adam Ippolito, Garth Kravits, Andy Cahill, Loren Daniels, and Justin Kolb.
In addition to the musical performances, a silent auction will be held, featuring an array of unique items and experiences. All proceeds from the auction will go directly to enhance our expanded music education program needs.
