Palm Beach Post Blog and Thanks

Hi all,

Greg Stepanich from the Palm Beach Post has written a nice blog entry on the concert here.
A story in the print version of the Palm Beach Post is scheduled for the end of the week!

Also, we would like to acknowledge several individuals and organizations that have contributed financially to help make this concert possible. Without them, we would simply not be able to bring this exciting concert to the people of South Florida.

Miami-Dade Cultural Affairs
State of Florida Cultural Affairs
Audrey Love Charitable Foundation
Josephine B. Adams Charitable Fund
Randy Gage

Thank you! We also have literally dozens of individuals to thank for their encouragement, in-kind assistance, and belief in our exciting collaboration with Ground Up and Rising. Thank you to everyone who is helping us to further our mission!

Can't wait to see you, and a packed house this weekend!

Copernicus Gears up for March Concert

There's been a lot happening since our last post, and there have been some very exciting developments on several fronts. First, we are extremely pleased to announce that Greg Stepanich from the Palm Beach Post named our last concert #4 on his "Top 10 of 2007" for Classical Music Performances. You can read about it here.

Secondly, we can't be more excited about our upcoming concert series in March. It's just not possible. Copernicus will be collaborating with the hottest theater group in Miami- Ground Up and Rising, and you won't want to miss the excellence and creativity that they are going to bring to this performance. March 8, at 8pm, we will be presenting "Story of a Soldier" at Arts at St. Johns on Miami Beach (ticket information here). March 9, the concert will be performed in Delray Beach, venue TBA. We have an unbelievable group of young performers slated to perform, and we can't wait to present this great program to Miami. Much more to come soon!

We're 501(c)3!

Hello all pC fans

Just writing to let you know that pC has just received word from our most awesome and faithful legal counsel,Matthew Sarelson, (http://sarelson.com/attorneys.html) that we are now a 501(c)3, non-profit arts orgainization. This will give us tremendous flexibilty in regards to fundraising, allowing us to solicit tax deductible donations from individuals and corporations, as well as allowing us to compete for foundation grants.

Thanks to everybody who made this happen: the artists of pC, the audiences who came to our performances, all donors, our amazing board, our lawyer Matthew, Karen Click, Mark Hart at Coral Gables Congregational Church, and most of all, Carol Hoffman, who helped to incubate our fledgling group which is now ready to take flight!

More soon!
