Toray Ultrasuede Partners with Eos Orchestra
for Second Season



New York, October 3, 2003 -- Toray Ultrasuede (America), Inc., is proud to announce its second year as a season sponsor of Eos Orchestra. Part of the Toray Ultrasuede Partners in the Art of Performance program, the 2003/2004 sponsorship extends the enthusiastic support of the artistic mission of Eos Orchestra and its founder, Jonathan Sheffer.

"It's a natural partnership for us," comments Andrea Boragno, President and CEO of Toray Ultrasuede. "Our success as a brand derives from our commitment to meeting fashion and interior design challenges with solutions that synergize art and technology. And there's no better way to evoke that synergy than by creating a partnership between the performing arts and design."

In addition to supporting the Eos Orchestra performance season, Toray Ultrasuede has also supplied Ultrasuede® fabric for the renovation of the Orchestra's longtime home base, the Concert Hall at the Ethical Culture Society. Other contributions to the performing arts have included support of David Parsons' work with American Ballet Theatre as well as fashion designers connected with New York’s “7th on 6th” Fashion Week runway shows.

The Eos Orchestra is a not-for-profit organization committed to presenting engaging musical programs to a diverse and evolving audience. The focus is on innovative programming, the rediscovery of important neglected works and composers, and featuring collaborations with other artistic disciplines -- producing new and exciting performances. Through its approach to performance and repertoire, Eos seeks to be a driving force in the revitalization of the live music experience.
