Dear Mr. Garry:
The Youth Symphony is planning a concert in Gusman Cultural
Center Auditorium (downtown) for the afternoon of June 5. 1983.
It is the culmination of our year, and also of our competition
for composers. "New Music for Youth Orchestras", funded in part
by the State of -Florida. Department of State. Division of Cultural
Affairs, and the National Endov.-ment for the Arts. The competition
has not; been narrowed dorm to three scores. all of which will be
performed at the June 5 concert by the Youth Symphony. Our judges
(all from outside of Florida) will be present to rank the compositions
and award the prizes ($1000 for first, $600 for second, and $400
for third). This was a state-wide contest, and the compositions
submitted were of high quality, and suitable for Youth Symphony,
in the opinion of the judges. In addition, several other works
will be performed on the concert, besides the three "World Premieres".
I am writing to ask about the possibility of a fee waiver for
the use of the auditorium for that concert on June 5, 19F3. I
understand that the fee is $850.00. and that there are other needs
which we must supply, namely, security, stage hands, piano, etc.
I hope that this request is a reasonable one, and I want to thank
you for possibly* becoming involved in this exciting project.
Sincerely Yours, ..;.
