A Sincere Thank You to the Following Generous Donors
Now in our 14th season, we invite you to join us in supporting our annual Drive2Sing. Founded on the belief that choral music, akin to sharing food, is a nourishing and healing experience, Ensemble Companio embodies this ethos in every note sung. Our choir, comprising dedicated musicians from diverse professions across the Northeastern region, is committed to our mission of building bridges between people through authentic, inspiring performances of the finest choral music. Your contribution will not only empower our choir but also strengthen the fabric of our communities through the universal language of music. Ensemble Companio’s reputation for adventurous programming, vibrant concert experiences, and collaborations with esteemed institutions like Union College, Swarthmore College, VOICES Boston, and the Capital Hearings speaks to our dedication to excellence. We have been honored with prestigious awards, including the American Prize in Choral Performance and the Ernst Bacon Memorial Prize for the Performance of American Music. We are immensely grateful for our donors whose support has enabled Ensemble Companio to flourish.
By supporting our annual Drive2Sing campaign you are also making a significant impact in several key areas of our work including:
- Educational Outreach: Your contributions enable us to engage in educational outreach opportunities, bringing the joy of choral music to diverse communities and inspiring the next generation of musicians.
- Supporting Underrepresented Composers: Ensemble Companio actively promotes inclusivity by featuring works from underrepresented composers, ensuring that diverse voices are heard within the choral music landscape. This commitment to representation not only enriches our performances but also addresses the historical disparities in the field of choral composition.
- Phenomenal Artistic Direction: Your contributions help us maintain the high artistic standards and visionary direction that define Ensemble Companio’s performances.
- Accessible Model: Our uniquely accessible model is built on traveling to many different rehearsal and concert venues, as well as our Member Experience Fund, which supports our singers’ financial needs to participate. Your support ensures that our music remains accessible to all.
