CRMSSmas Cards

Spread some Fa-la-la-la-la with a Personalized Video CRMSSmas Card!

Support the Canadian Renaissance Music Summer Schools, and receive a one-of-a-kind holiday surprise! To thank you for your support, we are giving you the opportunity to create a personalized holiday video-gram - or "CRMSSmas Card"! - for yourself or someone special, featuring a "CRMSS celebrity" (a current and/or past CRMSS tutor or associated professional musician). Your continued support directly helps fund future programs.

How it works:

Click on the Get your CRMSSmas Card button. A new browser tab will open containing an order form for you to complete. On this form, you'll do the following:

1. Choose Your Giving Tier

   Select from three tiers of support, each unlocking different levels of personalization for your video, and different celebrities.

   • Holiday Greeting: $25 - $49
     information about this tier

     In this short and sweet 15-second message, your chosen CRMSS celebrity will warmly greet the recipient by name, wishing them a joyful holiday season and a wonderful year ahead – naturally filled with plenty of glorious Renaissance polyphony!

   • Personalized Greeting: $50 - $99
     information about this tier

     Your CRMSSmas Card offers a special touch: you get to craft the message! Provide the text you'd like your CRMSS celebrity to say (up to 30 seconds ). As you will no doubt have anticipated, all messages will adhere to the finest Elizabethan decorum and propriety.

   Let us know who it's for and suggest what to say!

4. Submit the Form:

   Complete the order form with:

   • Your selected tier
   • Your chosen CRMSS celebrity
   • A message or more information if included in your chosen tier
   • The recipient's contact details

5. Enjoy the CRMSSmas Magic:

   The custom video will be recorded and uploaded to a password-protected site for your recipient to access. For the privacy of our artists, we ask that the videos remain on the designated site and not be shared publicly.

Important Dates:

• Order Deadline: December 1st, 2024
• Limited Availability: Some of our CRMSS celebrities have a cap on the number of videos they can create at this busy time of year, so order early!
