Repeated again in 2012 and 2014, these "Divafest" <br />programs allow developing singers the rare opportunity to appear <br />with full orchestral accompaniment. <br />• Under the leadership of guest conductor Andrew McAfee, the <br />orchestra initiated a children's concert in 2007 and has made it an <br />annual event since 2009. With attendance of around 300 (evenly split <br />between elementary- school -aged children and adults), this concert in <br />particular reaches beyond traditional classical music audiences. <br />• Starting in 2015, the orchestra has sponsored summer chamber <br />music concerts featuring orchestra members. <br />• The orchestra has also collaborated with other area ensembles, <br />including the Chapel Hill Community Chorus (2009), the Piedmont <br />Youth Orchestra (2012), and the Chapel Hill Youth Violin Ensemble <br />(2012). <br />The CHP is governed by a board of directors elected from the ranks <br />of the orchestra. Most organizational chores are performed by <br />volunteers, though the music librarians and stage managers are paid <br />a nominal fee. <br />The CHP is planning five different programs for 2018 -2019 and is also <br />supporting its annual Young Artist Competition: <br />• Summer 2018: Chamber music concert with members of the CHP. <br />• October 21, 2018: A children's concert. <br />• December 9, 2018: A classical concert featuring Prokofiev's <br />Symphony #5. <br />• February, 2019: Auditions for 2018 Young Artists Competition. <br />• March 10, 2019: A classical concert featuring violist George Taylor <br />and Mozart's Symphony #4. <br />• May 5, 2019: A classical concert featuring 2019 Young Artists <br />Competition winner and Schubert's Symphony #9. <br />During FY18 -19, will No <br />your organization <br />receive operational <br />support funding from <br />the North Carolina <br />Arts Council or the <br />North Carolina <br />Department of <br />Natural and Cultural <br />Resources? <br />Organization's EIN 561806074 <br />Organization www.chapelhillphilharmonia.org <br />Website <br />
