Support Choral Arts Ensemble
An ensemble is a group effort
Just as a good accompanist or other instrumentalist helps us to reach a new level, we rely on your support to keep us moving upward, striving not just for excellence but to lift spirits, and enrich our community with our performances. Your donation helps provide sheet music, venue rental, instrumentalist fees, and much more as we constantly strive to create the best in choral music.
If you like what you hear, and want to join our group effort, please make a tax-deductible donation of any amount today.

The human resources department of your employer can tell you more about its matching gift policy and how you can request a matching gift for your favorite charities.
