THE MANOR RESORT GRACIOUSLY EXTENDS CORPORATE SPONSORSHIP TO THE HAMPDEN-SYDNEY MUSIC FESTIVAL ARTIST CONCERTS
 As the Hamden-Sydney Music Festival approaches its 29th season, Artistic Director Ethan Sloan is pleased to announce that The Manor Resort, Spa and Residential Estate will again generously sponsor the entire series of four artist concerts in 2010.
“We are grateful and honored by their support and recognition of the cultural impact that the festival has had on the region over nearly 30 years,” said Mr. Sloane. “Hampden-Sydney College has been visionary in its commitment to the arts in the region; I am confident that The Manor Resort will similarly enhance, heighten and contribute to the many distinct pleasures of the area in years to come. Such responsiveness and receptivity in support of the arts, and its social impact, is a powerful and positive model.”
As south east Virginia’s premiere destination resort nestled in the rolling piedmont between Hampden-Sydney College and the town of Farmville, The Manor Resort is a natural match for the Music Festival. Hamden Sydney College and The Manor Resort are bound by the core values of quality, integrity and excellence.
“Together, these shared principals bring a strong, continuing commitment to the community, to education and the arts, and to this music festival,” added Michael Heffernan, Managing Director of The Manor Resort. “We look forward to aiding in securing the festival’s future while broadening the exposure of these extraordinary master performances.”
The Manor Resort also plans to utilize its world-class amenities and hospitality to accommodate musicians and visitors in the future and as an extension of the capabilities and resources of the festival organization.
The Manor Resort’s corporate sponsorship of the Hamden-Sydney Music Festival is just one more example of their philanthropic efforts to support the arts in the community. Mr. Sloane adds, “We are thrilled by this collaboration. It will definitely be to the benefit of the community and to those who come this beautiful destination and enjoy all the wonderful amenities offered.”
The 2010 Hampden-Sydney Music Festival Artist Concerts will take place over the last two weekends of May on the beautiful, historic campus of Hampden-Sydney College, founded in 1776. Over the years, the festival has coveted a national reputation for showcasing performances by world-class artists that have attracted a loyal, enthusiastic, and growing audience.
National broadcasts have been featured on “Performance Today,” articles in The Washington Post and Chamber Music Magazine, media sponsorship by Richmond’s NPR station, WCVE-FM, plus a long history of often dazzling reviews in the Richmond press that attest to the quality and stature of the festival.
The Manor Resort Spa & Residential Estate, A Herberton Development, is an environmentally sensitive, sustainable, world-class community of hamlets comprised of golf course home sites and custom-designed cottages. It is home to Maxine’s Fine Dining, an exquisite restaurant of fusion cuisine, and the world-class Manor Resort Golf Course; both now open to the public. Once completed, The Manor House Inn & Cottage Suites will offer several highly appointed guest rooms within the historic Manor House and110 cottage suites within the Golf, Lake and Spa villages. It will also feature such amenities as a state-of-the-art swim and tennis facility, a destination spa, walking trails, and a world-class conference center.
