About This Event

Create the Concert of Your Dreams at St. Croix Valley Opera’s “By Special Request 2024” Fundraising Event!

Stillwater, MN – Experience a night of musical magic like no other at St. Croix Valley Opera’s 4th Annual “By Special Request 2024” fundraising concert! On Saturday, November 16, 2024, at 7:00 p.m., Trinity Lutheran Church will transform into a stage for your song requests, performed live by SCVO’s stellar artists.

Imagine a concert where you choose the music! This one-of-a-kind fundraising event allows you to curate the program. During the month of October, you can submit song requests from the pre-approved list below for a donation of $100 or more. Whether it’s a beloved aria or a favorite show tune, our talented performers, including SCVO co-founders Megan Wagner and Obed Floan, will bring your selection to life. But act quickly—only 16-17 songs will make the final cut with a deadline of October 25th! If there are more requests than that, the more you add to your minimum $100 song request donation when making your initial request by entering an extra amount in the "Add an Optional Gift" field at registration, the higher the chance it will make the final program list.

The Lineup:

    •    Megan Wagner & Obed Floan (SCVO Co-Founders)
    •    Jennifer Eckes (SCVO Cabaret Impresario)
    •    Maggie Burr & Anthony Potts (SCVO’s “Figaro for Kids”)
    •    Jordan Buchholtz (Pianist Extraordinaire & "Figaro for Kids" Music Director)

Why Your Donation Matters:
Beyond shaping the evening’s performance, your donation directly supports St. Croix Valley Opera’s mission to bring world-class vocal performances to the St. Croix Valley community. Plus, you’ll unlock exclusive perks, including VIP access to future events. This is more than a concert—it’s your opportunity to support a vibrant artistic community.

Don’t miss your chance to be part of this unforgettable evening of music, community, and giving. Join us as we celebrate the power of the arts to inspire and connect!
