Classical Music Gets a Boost

Good news for classical music lovers--Symphony New Brunswick getting over 111-thousand dollars in funding from the feds via a program that matches private sector donations.

Symphony President Reid Parker tells CHSJ News the money is a massive boost to the symphony and they want to keep the ball rolling with more people donating out of their own pockets. According to Parker, those sort of donations are the symphony's bread and butter.

MP Rodney Weston saying he's pleased the feds can offer the funding because arts and culture organizations enrich our society.
