The Campaign for the Second Decade
In 2016/17, the Criers celebrated their 10th season, during which they performed 38 concerts with just one administrative staff member. Since then, A Far Cry has undertaken a capital campaign to grow and professionalize its administration so that the Criers can focus on what they do best: making music.
Now, three years later, we are proud to say that we have exceeded our goal for A Far Cry's Campaign for the Second Decade as of June 30, 2019. A lot has changed during that time: Last March, A Far Cry hired a full-time staff member to initiate a robust marketing and development program. In November, a new Executive Director. Now, we confidently move forward with the hire of a full-time Operations Manager and relieve the Criers of the day-to-day production for the organization. Already, the musicians are realizing dreams for even more creative, collaborative modes of artistic programming and music making at the highest level. We can’t wait to introduce you to the newest member of our team!
To all of our incredible donors, thank you for your support during this period of explosive growth within our organization. It’s an honor to share our Second Decade with you!
