Boerne Performing Arts: Future ‘unsustainable,’ current season is its last
It's curtains for Boerne Performing Arts. The April 22 performance by the Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain will be the last of the Boerne Performing Arts season — and the last ever for the organization.
In a March 26 letter addressed to its partners, BPA President Rick Pfaff states a sluggish economy, high inflation, lagging ticket sales and lingering effects of the pandemic as factors “that made continuing a volunteer, donor-based organization such as ours financially unsustainable.” The letter says BPA will cease operations following a grand finale holiday concert set for Dec. 12, 2024.
“For 12 years, Boerne Performing Arts ... has fulfilled its mission of bringing the world of performing arts to Boerne by presenting concerts that feature internationally acclaimed artists, educating student outreach programs and enriching the quality of life in the community,” the letter began.
In the letter, Pfaff thanked more than a dozen corporate sponsors and major individual donors and all its partners “for your unflagging support for 12 wonderful years. We hold our heads high, knowing that BPA made a significant, positive impact on our Boerne ISD students and the greater Boerne community.”
The letter closed with a reminder that tickets are still on sale for the Ukulele Orchestra's performance. The artists for the Dec. 12 “grand finale” show will be announced at the April 22 show.
