I'm so friggin' tired of these damn pan-handlers. We should give them a hand-up not a hand-out!
KBIA and the University Concert Series have an unusual request that we hope you, or someone you know, might be able to fulfill.
For its upcoming 100th-anniversary season, the University Concert Series is on the verge of bringing acclaimed violinist Itzhak Perlman to Jesse Auditorium. As part of his standard performing contract, Mr. Perlman requires private air transportation.
Paying out-of-pocket for a private jet might prove cost-prohibitive for the Concert Series. If Mr. Perlman visits Jesse, the end result for patrons could be ticket prices in line with the expectations of concertgoers in larger cities.
To try to keep down the costs of bringing back this performing legend for his first visit in nearly a decade, we're appealing to you for an in-kind gift that we understand only a very small minority of our listeners could supply. Do you, or does someone you know, have access to a private jet that Itzhak Perlman could use for a day in March, 2008?
If so, then please call us at 573-882-3431 or 800-292-9136 and ask for Mike Dunn. And thanks in advance for considering a gift to one person that would enrich the cultural life of mid-Missouri as a whole next year.
