Programs and results
What we aim to solve
There is a lack of quality music education for members of the community who did not pursue music as a career. Growing up, most individuals develop a love of music in school or lessons, but most do not go on to pursue a career as it becomes just a love or hobby. Classical music and singing, especially, have created narrow-minded views of its accessibility. Additionally, in large metropolitan communities, there is a disconnect between its members. It is difficult, if not impossible, to connect with other members of your community if there is not a forced interaction at a regular gathering i.e. church, work, etc. There is a dire need for community building by way of other common interests. Also, in a technology-driven world, interpersonal skills are at a decline as the need to develop these skills becomes increasingly insignificant.
Our programs
What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
Community Outreach
Our aim is to make music accessible to all. Singers get full immersion into singing techniques, music theory, site reading while developing a strong sense of community within the choir. Members of the community get an education in classical choral pieces with the Artistic Director providing educational commentary about each piece and composer. A community connection is formed between the chorus and community members.

Charting impact
Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.
What is the organization aiming to accomplish?
We are aiming to break the stigma of classical music and singing accessibility. Additionally, we are allowing members of our disconnected community to connect through common interests like their love of music. As the pandemic raged on in 2021, the world became even more disconnected. Lucas Tarrant, Artistic Director/VP of Music, arranged for the chorus to rehearse weekly via virtual meetings and for interested singers to have Zoom voice lessons. The chorus recorded the beautiful melody, Sing Your Way Home, via Zoom during this period. Each singer, in their own home, recorded their voice part. All of the parts were blended, and the end product was exhilarating for the participants and the public who viewed our project. We were "together" again!
What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?
For music, expert artistic direction and education in the form of myriad resources including electronic learning resources, additional practice sessions, and individualized coaching.
For community, in addition to regular, weekly rehearsals, we also engage the community at local events and socials. Previous appearances include local businesses and farmers' markets.
What are the organization's capabilities for doing this?
Our organization has grown quickly and has great retention rates. Our first season, we ended with 19 members. On the verge of the close of our second season, we have nearly 50 members. Additionally, we have strong reviews from our community and receive moral and fiscal support from some of the most prominent members.
What have they accomplished so far and what's next?
We have more than doubled in size even after being apart during the pandemic. Our concerts typically have a regular attendance of 150-300 depending on the venue. Members have expressed positive feelings about the group and in under two years we qualified for and received our 501(c)(3) determination. I think, by definition, achieving this determination is a landmark for our organization. Additionally, we have made classical music and singing accessible to all who are interested as we are non-auditioned.
Moving forward, our goal is to continue outreach and share music with the less fortunate members of our community who could not, otherwise, attend our concerts. Such venues may include retirement communities and women's shelters.
