GIVING BACK TO OUR COMMUNITY
Dec 2023
Beckett played the Tuba. Of course :) In his words, the most ridiculous instument there is. Typical Beckett humour. He appreciated the joy of music and the art of performance. We are so proud to support El Sistema at The Aeolian Hall once again. This year we made a $2000 donation. Thanks to all of our supporters for making this possible.
The arts enlighten, inspire and transform individuals, helping build strong, healthy and vibrant communities. El Sistema Aeolian provides an opportunity for children, youth and their communities to experience a free, intensive, innovative and accessible after school music program. We provide expert instruction in a nurturing, safe and inclusive environment allowing participants to develop their full social and musical potential.

The joy of giving helps keep Beckett's memory front and center. Acts of kindness refresh and enrich. #givingtuesday is such a great reminder of what's important.

spread music and change lives. The Arts can enlighten and transform. Creative people help bring joy to life, something particularly resonant in 2020/21.
Pictured here are Ann and Clark Bryan, Artistic and Executive Director of the Aeolian.
On a personal note, we have added a small part to the history of this iconic London hall. Family have graced her stage. Our 2019 Improv Beckett Project event was held there. Most important of all, Ann and Paul were married at the Aeolian. Beckett played the part of Elwood Blues so well, always reminding us “everybody needs somebody to love”.
Please check out all the Aeolian does for our community here. https://aeolianhall.ca Support the arts any way you can !
