Dear Ivar,
Thank you to all the members of the: Class of 1961 for the recent contributions to support the Legacy Fund. We will inform the next of kin of the gifts the class has made in memory of members who have passed in the last year. We are honored to be the recipient of these tributes.
The Class of 1961's continued commitment to the arts at Dartmouth means so much to all of us at the Hop. Once again, thank you.
Warm regards,

Dear Ivar,
The Class of 1961's gift to establish an endowment fund to support the Hopkins Center in perpetuity was an important investment in the arts at Dartmouth. The income from the Legacy Fund makes it possible for us to bring exceptional performers representing American artistic traditions to Hanover. I am pleased to provide this update and the enclosed financial report for the fund for the last fiscal year.
Last season the Class of 1961 Legacy Fund supported the performances of John Prine, the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra with Wynton Marsalis, and Grammy-winning jazz singer Gregory Porter. This was Prine's first engagement at the Hop and the appearance of the famed singer/songwriter drew a sold-out crowd of devoted fans from throughout the Upper Valley and beyond. One Prine fan was moved to tears by the show.
The Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra hosted an open rehearsal for Dartmouth students and high school jazz band members before their concert. After the open rehearsal, one Dartmouth student commented on his experience:
"Wynton's breadth of knowledge is incredible. The patience he takes with students despite his success is incredible, and has solidified my utmost respect for him both as a musician and a person. Playing trumpet with him and hearing him lecture about music gave me completely new perspectives about the way I will interpret and approach my own music in the future."
Gregory Porter's smooth baritone delighted audience members who commented after his show that it was "so amazing," and that they "love his voice." Playbills for each performances are enclosed.
As the Hopkins Center prepares to embark on an ambitious campaign to transform our spaces and programs for 21st-century art making and presentation, we remain truly grateful to the donors whose endowment gifts provide an essential bedrock of support for our work. Your fund helps us bring our students and community together around great art. Thank you!
Warm regards,
