“We are offering several ticket levels for these performances, to give people the opportunity to both watch The Nutcracker Suite and make a donation to help HBPA survive the COVID pandemic. Your financial support is vital to the sustainability of our organization. No donation is too small. Every dollar helps ensure HBPA can continue to keep our training and outreach programs alive. Our greatest wish is to keep our students engaged and inspired in every way possible during these uncertain times.”
The Nutcracker Suite project is supported by a grant from the United Arts Council of Catawba County.
