Interested donors or fundraising groups can visit the Yavapai College Choral Tour Fund and pledge any level of support. The opportunity to contribute to this fund ends December 31, 2022
Students from Yavapai College’s Master Chorale and Chamber Singers are traveling to New York City in March 2023 to perform Verdi’s “Requiem” at Carnegie Hall. They will be part of a 250 person chorus to perform the “Requiem.”
The Yavapai Community College Foundation has launched a fund drive to help them cover the cost of travel and accommodations.
Professor of Choral Music Dr. Joshua Harper on the fund website explains that:
“The opportunity to perform at Carnegie Hall is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. The history of this iconic performance venue along with the opportunity to sing one of the most famous musical works is an experience that is unparalleled for students. This specific work is one that requires extremely large forces, the sort of work we would not produce at the College. In traveling to NYC, we can experience this work as an ensemble along with musicians from around the country.”
The College website reports that are already 32 students signed up for the trip. It notes that “traditional-aged students in particular struggle to find money to pay for tours like this. A donation will help students join once-in-a-lifetime experiences.
