DocuSign Envelope ID:BF27BF2D-05EC-4830-BC9C-EFOF0466E351 <br /> Audience Description Holding the concert at UUMC will enable us to increase our audience <br /> size. We have completely filled the halls in our last two concerts, the <br /> most recent at Moeser Hall at UNC. Including Women's Voices <br /> Chorus, a young women's chorus, and our instrumentalists, we <br /> anticipate approximately 100 performers and an audience of 500. <br /> By performing at University United Methodist Church, we can offer a <br /> program that can reach an audience too large for either of our major <br /> concert locations last year. Our audiences continue to include people <br /> of various ages and cultural backgrounds. A large reason for the <br /> audience appeal is the enthusiasm with which the choir embraces a <br /> wide variety of music. We attribute the audience diversity in part to <br /> the programming of various musical styles and viewpoints. A larger <br /> audience would help us expose a larger and more diverse audience <br /> to the music of women composers of diverse backgrounds. <br /> Location Description University United Methodist Church in Chapel Hill. No additional <br /> special accommodations would need to be made for individuals with <br /> disabilities. <br /> Artist Description We are grateful for 12 wonderful years with Dr. Allen Friedman as our <br /> Artistic Director. Dr. Friedman has just accepted a new position that <br /> will not allow him the time to continue directing WVC. <br /> We are currently completing our audition process for the new Artistic <br /> Director and expect to make an offer before July 1. We have three <br /> excellent candidates with extensive experience in choral music. We <br /> have interviewed all three, had each lead a rehearsal and have <br /> videos of previous conducting. We have also asked each to prepare <br /> a program for the chorus. We are confident that the new Artist <br /> Director will prepare an excellent program of past and current music <br /> by a variety of female composers, including African-Americans, <br /> Asians and Hispanics. Our candidates include multicultural artists. <br /> Hiring of instrumentalists and soloists for our concert will take place <br /> after the Artistic Director is in place. <br /> We can provide a description of the new Artistic Director once the <br /> candidate has accepted the position. <br /> Are you hiring No <br /> multicultural artists <br /> with the requested <br /> funds from this <br /> grant? <br />
