As I take the helm as interim music director of the Sangre de Cristo Chorale after five very successful seasons with Fred Graham, I find myself excited about the future of the organization. I firmly believe that community organizations like ours play a vital role in fostering connection, creating opportunities for artistic expression, and strengthening the social networks of our communities. The Sangre de Cristo Chorale is no exception. Our unique product is not merely a musical performance but a touch-point for our community. We fill a niche that celebrates the love of music and the power of unity amongst a community of musicians and music lovers. Without your attendance and additional financial support, we cannot do the work we do. We are very grateful for your continued support and contributions.
Our 2023-2024 season – the Chorale’s 46th! – will feature four concerts once again. From John Corigliano’s luminous Fern Hill to a concert of 21st century works centered around the effects of violence in our community and our opportunities for healing and processing the world in which we live, we will bring you a variety of music you are sure to enjoy. In between, we’ll celebrate the season with holiday music from the US and England, and finally a concert celebrating nature and creation. We have an exciting season ahead of us!
How can you be a part of the community of musicians and music lovers? Without you, we would not be able to fulfill our mission to make a difference in the lives of the community we serve. Like most arts organizations, our ticket revenue covers only one-third of our operating expenses.
We invite you to join us once again in supporting the Sangre de Cristo Chorale. Your donation will ensure that our music continues to touch the hearts and souls of our community this next season. We hope to see you at many of our concerts!
With heartfelt appreciation,
Dr. George Case
Interim Music Director
Sangre de Cristo Chorale
