River Raisin Ragtime Revue is an orchestra that educates and entertains audiences of all ages through the performance and preservation of America's original style of popular music - ragtime!

"A Ragtime Christmas" is R4's first holiday album! We've been to the studio and laid down ten Christmas rags arranged by our very own Music Director Emeritus William Hayes, and now we're working with the audio engineers to edit them. We're also finalizing the artwork for the CD with our graphic designer and working with the videographer to create fun videos for promoting the CD this holiday season. All of this adds up to a considerable expense.

R4 is a non-profit organization and the costs of creating, recording, and pressing new CDs can run well over $10,000. Support from our community of music-lovers is important to us and the work that we do, and we would love to have as many of you participate as possible!

To that end, we're offering several tiers of giving for this fundraising event, with each tier building on the last (for example, if you happen to donate $1000, you will receive all of the bonuses mentioned below):

$25 - Any available R4 merchandise of your choice!
$50 - Reserves your copy of "A Ragtime Christmas!"
$100 - A ticket to our upcoming Christmas Concert (date/time TBD)!
$500 - Your name in the liner notes!
$1000 - Dinner with Executive Director William Pemberton! (Who we can assuredly say is one heck of a cook with fine taste in wine....)

However and whatever you choose to give, please know that we appreciate your support and hope to see you at an R4 event in the future!
