How do you promote <br />and publicize the <br />work of your <br />organization? <br />W e reach the classical music and choral music audiences through <br />the well-regarded online journal Classical Voice of North Carolina <br />(CVNC.org), the regional choral music website Trianglesings.org, and <br />through concert announcements on W CPE 89.7 ("The Classical <br />Station") and W CHL 97.9 (“The Hill) out of Chapel Hill. <br />CVNC traditionally prev iews each of our concerts. It also rev iews our <br />concerts the day after. Recent rev iews hav e been extremely positiv e. <br />Our latest CVNC rev iew is one of the Publicity samples uploaded with <br />this application. <br />Trianglesings.org has been consistent in publishing notices about <br />us. On March 18, after local choirs canceled all their concerts, <br />Trianglesings.org ran their first article lamenting the cancellation of <br />performances due to the pandemic. They directed v iewers to W VC’s <br />January 2020 concert on our YouTube channel, saying, "Find Solace <br />in W omen's Voices Chorus' 'Breathe Hope, Sing Hope'. ... In this <br />concert, they performed songs about loss, keeping faith in hard <br />times, and opening our hearts to each other." <br />W e use our Facebook page and our website to alert our followers to <br />each concert and to stimulate social media conv ersation about it. <br />W e mail concert postcards to our mailing list and also do an email <br />blast. W e informally notify local choirs of our concerts. <br />Our best promotion tool ov erall is our YouTube channel, which offers <br />high-quality v ideos of ev ery concert since 2018, as well as a separate <br />v ideo of each piece performed. <br />Please describe <br />efforts by your <br />organization to <br />generate revenue. <br />Choir members pay $150 in dues per year.
