Singers back at work |
 |
Summer has given way to fall, and we've begun
rehearsing the initial programs of the
Minnesota Chorale's 2009-10 season - a season
in which our educational activities and
community collaborations take center stage.
Our first performance of the season is Carl
Orff's unstoppable
Carmina Burana, presented by
the Minnesota Dance Theatre. This multimedia
Carmina
was a
runaway hit when we did it a few years ago,
and we're expecting seats to go fast.
Performances are November 5-8 at the Lab
Theater in the
Minneapolis Warehouse District; call
612.333.7977 for tickets.
There's much more, including our
December Messiah performances with the
Minnesota Orchestra. Click the link below for
all the details.

Bridges 2009 |
 |
We're already rehearsing music for this
year's Bridges
community-engagement concert, Sing
with Me, which spotlights the
mentoring
relationships that have blossomed between
members of our Minneapolis Youth
Chorus and adult singers in the Chorale.
Mounted in collaboration with the Mentoring
Partnership of Minnesota, the program is
set for
Saturday evening, November 21, at St. Olaf
Catholic
Church in downtown Minneapolis. For tickets,
call Ticketworks at
952-930-5100, or click

MYC turns 3! |
 |
The Minneapolis Youth Chorus, now in
its third season, is busier than ever: the
fall schedule includes recording sessions for
its first CD and the "Sing with Me" concert
with the Chorale in November. Next spring
features a performance of Carmina
Burana with the
Chorale
and the Metropolitan Symphony Orchestra.
It all leads up to next June when MYC
travels to Chicago, as one of six
choirs from across the U.S.A. invited to
participate in the Windy City Youth Choral
Festival.

What your support means to us |
 |
Thanks to your generosity, the Chorale ended
its 2009 fiscal year in the
black. For most nonprofits, including
the Chorale, fiscal 2010 promises to be even
more challenging than 2009. As we do our work
in a cost-effective and thrifty way (more
than 80% of the Chorale's operating expenses
are devoted to our artistic and educational
endeavors), we're counting on you to renew
your support. To contribute to the Chorale,
call 612.455.2100 or click
here to make a secure online donation.
Donations are, as always, tax-deductible.
