Meriden ArtsTrust, Inc. (MAT) presents:
Our Funders
It is our funders who help us provide community music for all to hear!
Here, the Central Connecticut Civic Youth Orchestra, (CCCYO) plays a free concert in the Griffin Room of the Meriden Public Library in 2009, with the most recent concert in 2011.  The CCCYO plays a free concert at one of the area's public libraries every year because of generous people like you!.


It takes many people, businesses, families and foundations to make our programs so successful.  We sincerely thank all of these like-minded
people and organizations who bring music instruction and concerts all through the year to the greater Meriden community. Consider becoming a Benefactor, Sponsor or Funder of the CCCYO, MPO & GUild, MMS, BFBB and all of our other great music instruction and performance opportunities that are literally nowhere else in the central Connecticut region!
Thank you.

Please help us thank these funders, too.
