The Choristers’ Summit

On June 6, 2009, the Foundation hosted a Choristers’ Summit, a first step toward creating an Upper Valley choral community. Summit participants discussed common aspirations, needs and challenges; these discussions helped CAFUV plot its own course toward assisting choral organizations to reach their goals.

As a result, CAFUV is actively pursuing these projects:

Improve Information Resources

Provide a website that will permit easy communication through a calendar, a bulletin board, a place to list music libraries, access to instrumentalists, and so forth, plus a page for any member organization.

Offer Workshops

Organize workshops on a variety of topics to help participants develop as musicians, improve their organizations, and build the choral community. We have begun work on a fall gathering with a menu of workshop options. Please let us know if you would like to be a presenter or if you can recommend a presenter.

Provide Grants

Clarify and streamline the Foundation’s grants program.

If you would like to assist the Foundation in its work, or if you have questions or suggestions, please contact us at info@ChoralArtsUV.org.  We’ll be delighted to hear from you!
