Dearest Friends of Choristers Everywhere:
In our 71 years of educating choral leaders, we have never seen such a time of when choirs are silent. It is heartbreaking daily to hear from our members how much they miss their children, youth, and adult choirs, whether it be from houses of worship, community choirs or schools, and of furloughs and layoffs.
But like many, the pandemic sweeping the world has only made our small team more determined to fulfill our mission, to enable choral leaders to nurture the musical and spiritual growth of children, youth, and adults. Within weeks, we began offering educational webinars to assist in creating virtual rehearsals, virtual choir performances, and solo and small ensemble group materials to bring to services and performances. Our educational outreach is ongoing, and in fact, expanding to offer more virtual learning opportunities for choir leaders and educators.
We will continue to do so until we see COVID-19 defeated, and large choirs singing in harmonious voice again.
But to do so, we ask for your support, so that we can continue to assist our choral leaders in nurturing their choristers. Won't you give through the North Texas Giving Day portal? Donations made through the North Texas Giving Day campaign assist Choristers Guild in receiving bonus funds through the Communities Foundation.
Membership commitments and donations allow Choristers Guild to do the work we do. Your gifts on this North Texas Giving Day are especially needed, and we hope that you will get involved as you are able.
With heartfelt gratitude,
Dawn
