🚨 WIJ HEBBEN NU UW HULP NODIG! 🚨

Afgelopen vrijdag heeft Sinfonia Rotterdam met grote verbijstering te horen gekregen dat de adviescommissie Cultuurplan 2025-2028 de Gemeente Rotterdam adviseert geen subsidie meer toe te kennen aan dit prachtige orkest.

Dit zou betekenen dat ons voortbestaan in het gedrang komt. En dat we een professioneel orkest verliezen dat niet alleen prachtige muziek brengt, maar ook mensen verbindt, jong en oud inspireert en bijdraagt aan het culturele hart van Rotterdam en ver daarbuiten.

Dat Sinfonia Rotterdam geen subsidie meer toegekend krijgt, kunnen we natuurlijk niet laten gebeuren en daarom hebben we uw hulp nodig om de Gemeente Rotterdam de noodzakelijke redenen te geven dit advies naast zich neer te leggen. Zij zijn nu namelijk aan zet om het advies wel of niet over te nemen.

Hoe kunt u helpen?

- Graag willen we iedereen vragen om nu het formulier op onze website in te vullen met uw reactie op het advies en/of over wat Sinfonia Rotterdam voor u betekent. De inzendingen in het formulier bieden we a.s. maandag aan de Wethouder Cultuur in Rotterdam aan.
- Delen in Stories, reposten en een reactie op de site achterlaten wordt gewaardeerd. Hoe meer inzendingen hoe beter.

Het formulier is te vinden via: www.sinfoniarotterdam.nl/rotterdamzondersinfonia
