"Dear CTP Fan,
Your visit to our website means alot to us! Thank you for seeking information about our pioneering ensemble! Sadly we are suffering the triple whammy of a depressed Michigan economy, inflation and amateur management (me)! That being the case I deeply regret how PITIFULLY FEW performances we have on offer this season! I strongly encourage you to attend what we DO have scheduled and to check back MONTHLY as concerts will appear suddenly! (The writing improves a little too!) 
In the meantime you may be interested to read about earlier (healthier) seasons.

OR... LET'S HELP EACH OTHER! Just send us contact information for any CONCERT PRESENTERS NEAR YOU so we may show you HOW WORLD-CLASS QUALITY CLASSICAL MUSIC CAN ENHANCE YOUR FAMILY'S LIVES!"
