Consortium Aurora Borealis relies on the generous donations of our sponsors. Your support allows us to bring amazing and exciting classical repertoire to Thunder Bay and allows for a much more intimate and warm setting for it to be enjoyed. Thunder Bay has a wonderful musical community and we strongly believe in embracing all that it has to offer.
Without your contributions, Consortium Aurora Borealis wouldn’t be where we are today. We would like to take a moment to thank the following sponsors for their contributions to enriching all of our lives with classical music. Please donate today to ensure that our lives will continue to be enriched by music for another 44 years!
