Needs
Outreach: Chanteuses' most pressing need is for help in making the group's outreach more effective. The group strongly desires to broaden its audience base and share outstanding music with more people. Developing a marketing strategy that can be implemented by volunteers would be the most cost effective. When funds become available, creating a position for a marketing / website person would be extraordinary!
Equipment: Choral risers would allow more flexibility in choosing venues for performances and community outreach.
Chanteuses hopes to expand its repertoire offerings through purchase and commissions of diverse, contemporary works for women's choral ensembles.
We would like to reach out to more singers as well as letting community members know of our concerts in the future.
Concert Manager: Chanteuses needs a passionate, dedicated, non-singer concert manager to help with venues, publicity, group photos/videos, tickets, signs, volunteers, programs, CD sales, and post-concert receptions.
Financial support for Director: Chanteuses Director William Zinn is a professional musician, and the group needs financial support to continue to grow and mature under his leadership. Annual cost is approximately $6680.
Chanteuses has been fortunate to have skilled help maintaining audience contact through email and website platforms.
We would like to develop these efforts further by consulting with a graphic designer familiar with the needs of performing arts organizations and music performance specifically.
