2012 / 2013 DONORS

The Fort Myers Community Concert Association 2012-2013 Season Sponsors

The Association expresses its gratitude to all who have made contributions to the success of this season and especially to the following for their extraordinary support.

BARBARA B. MANN

Celebrating her 100th birthday on January 4, 2013 and the 65th anniversary of her leadership of the Fort Myers Community Concert Association, Barbara B. Mann is our Series Underwriter this year. Even before the founding of this Association, Barbara was contributing to the musical life of the greater Fort Myers area through her own talents as pianist, organist, choir and community chorus director. Her talents and energy were also shared with other art and theater efforts, serving as the first President of the Lee County Alliance for the Arts. She has been recognized by numerous groups, including the Florida Legislature, for her virtual lifetime of cultural commitments. Long time residents and newcomers alike would agree that no single person in Lee County’s history has contributed more to its cultural development and growth than this dynamic lady. Being the $10,000 Series Underwriter this year continues the tradition begun when Barbara honored her late husband of 59 years, George T. Mann in 1996-1997 and continued in 1998-1999, the 50th Anniversary of the founding of Fort Myers Community Concerts, by her sons, George T. “Pat” Mann, Jr. and Franklin B. “Frank” Mann honoring their mother.

Madeleine R. Taeni returns as the $5,000 Program Sponsor for one of her beloved operas, Verdi’s “La Traviata.” Madeleine is deeply committed to ensuring that the Association continues to provide a quality opera each season.

MRS. SIDNEY R. DAVIS

Her love of the ballet is well known, so understandably one of our long time supporters, Mrs. Sidney R. Davis, Berne, is our $5,000 Program Sponsor for the Russian National Ballet’s performance of Prokofiev’s “Cinderella.”

Our $5,000 Program Sponsors for the Russian National Orchestra with piano soloist Barry Douglas, are Dr. and Mrs. John B. Fenning, John and Fran, who delight in being able to help the Association bring another outstanding symphony and pianist.
