Ravinia 2019, Issue 1, Week 2

MAY 31, 2019 – JUNE 16, 2019 | RAVINIA MAGAZINE 43 The invaluable instruction and performance opportunities provided by Ravinia’s Steans Music Institute are only possible because of generous donors. Relying directly on contributions from these dedicated supporters to fund these vital programs, RSMI provides its participants with everything they need—from practical housing and meals to priceless lessons with world-renowned musicians—so that they can focus fully on their craft. By removing financial considerations, Ravinia affords RSMI participants an opportunity to learn from top pedagogues and headlining performers at a critical time in their career development. We greatly appreciate the donors below who have contributed $300 or more to RSMI’s annual operating fund between October 1, 2018, and April 15, 2019, to help bring these programs to life this summer.
