DocuSign Envelope ID:BF27BF2D-05EC-4830-BC9C-EFOF0466E351 <br /> Organization Women's Voices Chorus (WVC) is an auditioned, community-based <br /> Description chorus of 70 sopranos and altos singing in a variety of styles <br /> including classical, multi-cultural, jazz and gospel. Our mission is to <br /> provide a welcoming place for women to experience the joy of <br /> singing together; to promote women's choral music through <br /> concerts, premieres, and other performances; to perform and <br /> commission choral works by and for women; and to maintain the <br /> highest standards of musical excellence. <br /> On average we sing four concerts each year. Since the majority of <br /> choral literature is for mixed (male and female) voices, our programs <br /> offer a unique opportunity for audiences and singers alike to <br /> experience new and/or rarely performed music. Our repertoire <br /> features songs from our own American tradition as well as songs <br /> from around the world. We have sung in more than 30 languages. <br /> Our concerts and rehearsals are held in several locations in Chapel <br /> Hill, including University United Methodist Church, United Church of <br /> Chapel Hill, Holy Trinity Lutheran Church, Church of Reconciliation, <br /> Chapel in the Pines, Hill Hall at the University of North Carolina at <br /> Chapel Hill, and New Hope Camp and Conference Center. Overall, our <br /> audience has grown to about XX people per concert season, and we <br /> have broadened our community impact through summer benefits <br /> and other free performances. <br /> Our audience is of all ages (6 to 80+) with a slight female majority. <br /> Although some of our audience members and singers live in the <br /> greater Triangle area, we primarily serve Chapel Hill—Carrboro and <br /> Durham through our performances. Since January 2006 we have <br /> performed 31 concerts in Chapel Hill for a combined audience <br /> attendance estimated at 6,500. We do not capture audience <br /> members' addresses, but the concert locations are likely to draw <br /> many Chapel Hill—Carrboro residents. Currently, more than half of our <br /> singers reside in Orange County, and more than xx Chapel Hill— <br /> Carrboro residents have joined our mailing list. <br /> During FY19-20, 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 561938811 <br /> Organization http://womensvoiceschorus.org <br /> Website <br />
