Fellows, Donors and Benefactors of 405 Shrader
What’s new at 405 Shrader?
Nothing. More concerts are already scheduled for the spring and fall of 2022 in this dilapidated store front here in the Haight where many of our audience arrive on foot, a few arrive by bicycle and those from much further find parking spaces.
Yes, these evenings remain exclusively for those who somehow find their way to 405 Shrader to enjoy beautiful music, good wine, and conversation with the artists and one another.
It will always be a casual evening of music and aperitif, and as usual the audience will be asked to reward the musicians with a minimum contribution of $25 if a single performer, or more if there are additional performers.
405 Shrader has been around long enough to become recognized as a sort of egalitarian institution, at least that is the feel we have hoped to create. To help make this happen more officially we have become an official IRS 501 (c) (3), a publicly supported not-for-profit corporation!
Here’s why. We want to keep the minimum contribution to the artist well within the means of the casual music lover (and, by-the-way, your generous appreciation of our artists has made 405 Shrader a preferred venue for chamber players).
But still someone must pay rent and lights, tune and repair the piano, maintain and make minimal improvements to the space. Let us not take these expenses from your contributions to the artists!
We have created the Fellows and Donors of 405 Shrader. These are you, our audience who would like to participate in the 405 Shrader vision by supporting the basic production infrastructure.
Besides the satisfaction of keeping 405 Shrader what it is and insuring its continuation, here is more encouragement for you to become a Fellow or Donor:
You will receive announcement of the upcoming season well before it is announced to the public. Timely response to this announcement assures you of a place at all concerts you choose to attend.
You may reserve as many concerts in advance as you wish (the general public is offered a limited number of selected concerts).
405 Shrader will work with you to be sure you have what you want and need, i.e. move your performance dates, reserve additional concerts, find a place for your friend, etc., without complaint.
Fellows make an annual contribution of $100 (one or two people).
You will gain additional karma by jumpting to Associate Donor ($250 annually) or better yet Patron Donor ($500 annually).
Achieve maximum karma and our very great appreciation by becoming a Benefactor to 405 Shrader ($1000 and above).
