THANK YOU for your support throughout 2022. We are thrilled to announce Odyssey successfully achieved its year end goal of $45,000!

Odyssey remains committed to presenting quality classical and contemporary music.

In a time of many choices, now including virtual options, we feel privileged to be able to share our passion for the Performing Arts in person, whether it may be Bach Cantata or Spirituals, a string quartet or Berg's Chamber Concerto.

As we look forward to 2023, enjoy our ever popular Baroque Concerto concert in February, and plan to attend 5 *amazing* days of the 10th Plowman Competition & Festival in March, both in person and online at Facebook and YouTube livestream.

Odyssey's 2022 Year in Review is only a glimpse of all the Odyssey programs you made possible! Your continued support at CoMoGives or donations made directly to Odyssey will help make new memories for you and our children in the next seasons to come.

Thank you again for supporting our love for chamber music, and our enthusiasm to share it with you.

With great appreciation,

Ayako Tsuruta

Executive and Artistic Director
