The Sangre de Cristo Chorale is singing again!
Our group values great singing, hard work, a supportive rehearsal and performance climate, a diversity of voices, and fun! We invite you to sing with us in the remainder of the season. Information about auditions and future concerts follows below.
Have you purchased your tickets for A Shakespeare Sampler? The Sangre de Cristo Chorale will be offering just one performance—Saturday, May 7 at St. Bede's Episcopal Church at 4 p.m.—so CLICK HERE to ensure that you don't miss this engaging program. We'll be presenting settings of Shakespeare texts by a wide range of composers in a variety of styles for diverse voice parts. Tickets will also be available at the door (if seats are still available) and are just $25; free for students and healthcare workers with current ID. Audience members must show proof of vaccination and wear a mask while inside the venue. Remember to arrive a bit early to allow for this check-in process.
Help Sustain the Chorale's Future
During both regular seasons and pandemic seasons, we balance our budget with a combination of grants and individual contributions. Chorale singers not only dedicate their time and talents, they also contribute financially and serve on various committees to sustain this member-led organization. Unlike many other local arts organizations, the Chorale has no paid administrative staff, but we do pay our artistic leadership, and we have other ongoing expenses—from riser storage to insurance—that require payment whether or not we present live performances.
We can't continue to sing without your help! Contributions from individuals and businesses—which typically provide just over half of our revenue—have always been essential to this group's existence and enable us to keep ticket prices affordable. When you donate to Sangre de Cristo Chorale you are contributing to a local nonprofit that has served local communities for more than four decades. As we approach the end of our fiscal year, we ask you to consider a gift to support this community resource. You can donate online or send a check to: Sangre de Cristo Chorale, PO Box 4462, Santa Fe, NM 87502-4462. Thank you for your continued support of choral music!
Singer Sidebars, Virtual Concerts, and Musical Works in Progress are our way of staying in touch with our audiences while we were unable to sing for you in person. The entire archive is available here.
