"Building Better Boards Workshop" with Chorus America

As a chorus board member or administrative or artistic leader, your job is to help your chorus meet its artistic and strategic goals. But how do you know if your board is doing the right work?

This day-long interactive workshop, led by Christopher Eanes, President & CEO of Chorus America, will help you build a board that’s focused, attracts the right talent, and provides the resources your organization needs to thrive. Whether your board is just starting out or has been governing for decades, you’ll unlock the next level in effectiveness and engagement.

David Hoose Commissioning Grant

Building on 45 years of supporting choral compositions and performances throughout the region, Choral Arts New England (CANE) is pleased to now offer the David Hoose Commissioning Grant, a biennial $5,000 grant supporting the commission of meaningful new choral music with instrumental accompaniment. This grant supports new compositions that explore choral music’s unique capacity to help us understand our history, reflect on our present, and envision our future.

“All of us who love choral music are lucky to have the strength and staying power and hard work of Choral Arts New England… There’s something elemental about singing together. The complexities of any group of people resolve when—or at least while—they’re singing together… This complex and conflicted world needs music.  Let’s keep it going!”
