ACHF Arts Access
Choral Arts Ensemble seeks to be a resource to the community and use our artistry to give voice to individuals, groups and issues that need to be heard. We will follow-up with the participating organizations to determine the number of new donors or volunteers they reach through a Choral Arts Ensemble's concert + open house event. 2: CAE will build on new skills learned by staff and board members during the Covid crisis to deliver virtual, hybrid and in-person music in 2021-2022. We will track our current participants' continued involvement and any change in participation resulting from the varied programming.
Choral Arts Ensemble partnered with and supported five area non-profits providing shelter and housing to persons and families in need. Follow-up with the non-profits highlighted during the Choral Arts Ensemble concerts showed that each experienced a bump in financial support and/or volunteer support from new participants recruited at the concerts. 2: During our 2021-2022 Season, Choral Arts Ensemble provided in-person and streaming concerts, offering comfortable options for all audience members. Compared with our last complete Concert Season (2018-2019), the 2021-2022 Season saw in-person attendance decrease by 32%. However, this decrease was slightly offset by the addition of virtual ticket sales resulting in an overall reduction of 29%.
