April 13, 2015 Dear Friends of the Contra Costa Chorale: The Contra Costa Chorale is in its 49th year of providing quality choral music to the communities of the Bay Area through live performances of classical and contemporary music. Each year the Chorale performs concerts during the fall and spring, and through the years has performed to enthusiastic audiences at the Sleep Train Pavilion, Dean Lesher Regional Center for the Arts, Contra Costa College, the Home Front Festival by the Bay in Richmond, California Alliance for Retired Americans, and at many other venues throughout the Bay Area. We performed Mozart’s Requiem at the senior retirement community of Rossmoor in Walnut Creek, Vivaldi’s Gloria with orchestra, “New York, New York” last spring, showing the diversity of our repertoire appealing to many different tastes, and our most recent concert, “The Classical Romantics,” featuring music by Brahms, Schubert, Schumann, and Mendelssohn. Our membership has increased to a full capacity of 70 singers and our audiences have continued to increase in size to the point where we are now performing to sold-out crowds. As we grow, so has the number of people seeing advertising in our programs. Knowing that you are supporting the Chorale through your ad placement will make your business even more appealing to members of the Chorale, as well as to the many people who attend our concerts. For our income we rely entirely on membership dues, concert ticket sales, donations, and the sale of program advertising. We hope you will place an ad in our spring program, and thus support our mission to bring a vast repertoire of choral music to the public and enrich the arts community in our area. We also invite benefactors, sponsors or groups who would like to make a contribution to the Contra Costa Chorale to be listed in the program. We are a nonprofit organization so all donations are tax deductible. For more information or if you have any questions, please email me at [email protected] or call me at 510-541-6700. Your support is vital to Contra Costa Chorale in order to continue providing quality choral music at affordable prices.
