*NOTE* December Odyssey events are NOT held at the First Baptist Church. Advance ticket purchase is required for an address in SW Columbia.

Beginning next Thursday, Odyssey presents "Dumky Holiday," in a series of three evenings of lively discussion and feast, hosted by violinist Scott Yoo and flutist Alice Dade.

Scott and Alice have a gorgeous gathering room with a roaring fireplace and a Steinway grand piano, for us to enjoy a genuine "chamber music" experience: An intimate gathering of friends in an informal setting.

Scott and Alice are joined by the 2010 Grammy nominee, cellist Bion Tsang from UT Austin, award-winning pianist Peter Miyamoto from MU, and Odyssey director and pianist, Ayako Tsuruta.

Join us to Wine, Dine and Dumky Holiday!

• 12/15 (Thu) 6pm: Villa-Lobos, Beethoven and WINE (20 tickets still available!)
• 12/16 (Fri) 6pm: Dumky Trio and DINE (Only 10 tickets left)
• 12/17 (Sat) 7pm: Dumky Holiday concert (Just 10 tickets left ! / RSVP: As of today, we are planning just the evening concert.)

ALL 3 performances are held at the Dade-Yoo Residence in SW Columbia.

Contact Ayako at (573) 825-0079 or info@OdysseyMissouri.org for any questions.

...And, 'tis the season:

So far, we have raised $30,291 !

THANK YOU.

We are SO CLOSE to our year-end goal of $45,000: If we sell the remaining 2022 tickets and successfully raise funds with a matching challenge that begins 12/15 (hint hint), we are DONE fundraising for the season.

There are several ways you can help:

1) Come to our show next week! Ticket purchase counts!

2) Donate to Odyssey by COMOGIVES! (Thanks to those who have already!)

3) Leave us a *RAVING* Google Review, or review on Facebook!

Thank you for reading this far.

I am fully aware you have many asks from various organizations.

We do not want to impose, and here's our plan:

• There will be one more e-mail to give you an update on December events status,
• On 12/15, Odyssey launches its matching challenge on COMOGives campaign.
• We will e-mail no more than twice a week, to include some nostalgic videos,
• We will post on Facebook everyday as well as other social media outlets,
• We will conclude with welcoming 2023.

YOU are the reason why Odyssey has thrived for 19 years! Please know I am always listening, and welcome your feedback or recommendations.

With appreciation,

Ayako Tsuruta

Executive / Artistic Director
