DocuSign Envelope ID: E271EC54- B954- 46F4- BCE3- 9FB02C9E1328 <br />2017 -18 VOICES Chorus program (attached) featured works by <br />American composers including North Carolinian Dan Locklair, <br />classical British coronation anthems and Scottish and American folk <br />songs. CANTARI performed French compositions, a program of <br />Handel and an international program introducing a new composition <br />by Jeremy Jennings, a former member. (See choral work samples.) <br />VOICES members primarily come from Orange and Chatham counties <br />with some from Durham and Alamance. Members range from 18 to 87 <br />in age; we work to enable those with disabilities to participate and <br />offer scholarships. Members are recruited via Triangle SINGS, our <br />own website, our Mail Chimp list, local newspaper ads, at Festifall, <br />and through VOICES members. Since 2015, VOICES rosters have <br />included 259 unique individuals; CANTARI's about 50. Since 2015, we <br />estimate membership has included 8 AA, 10 each Asian and <br />Hispanic, and at least 6 from foreign countries. Seniors comprise <br />approximately 40% of VOICES and 15% of CANTARI while students <br />comprise about 10% of each group. <br />Audience demographics reflect the composition of the choruses. <br />Total ticket sales in FY17 -18 were 1,229: 566 seniors, 391 adults, 109 <br />students, 163 complimentary tickets to donors/VIPs /members of the <br />opposite chorus. To assess audience composition and reaction, we <br />distributed surveys at the December VOICES concerts (n =300), and <br />the March CANTARI concert (n =100). Response rates were 22% and <br />44% respectively. About half lived in Orange County. Seniors made <br />up 67% of VOICES and 55% of CANTARI respondents. Reported <br />education levels were 62% graduate, 30% bachelors and 8% two -year <br />degrees for both groups. A significant number of respondents <br />omitted requested income data. Ethnicity appeared to reflect the <br />composition of the choruses. Respondents were asked to rate (on 7 <br />point Likert scales) their enjoyment of this concert (Mean =6.48 <br />VOICES, 6.67 CANTARI) and how likely they were to attend again (6.60 <br />VOICES, 6.48 CANTARI). <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 581450444 <br />Organization www.voiceschapelhill.org <br />Website <br />Authorizing Official's Susan Brunssen <br />Name <br />
