help keep choral music going

As with most performing groups, ticket prices comprise less than fifty percent of our yearly budget. We must rely on the generous donations of our patrons in order to continue to offer high-quality choral music in the Rogue Valley. We are very proud of the fact that we commission new music each year and that we take our music into the schools. We are committed to keeping classical choral music alive and well.

There are many ways that you can help us continue making beautiful music! Get involved and help us in our mission by making a tax deductible donation. You can also get great visibility in our community by advertising in our programs.
