Winter 2025
Dear Friends and Supporters of Cantata Academy Chorale,
As we reflect on this past year, we are filled with gratitude for our community. Your presence - whether in our audience, as a volunteer, as a donor, or simply as someone who believes in the power of choral singing - has made every rehearsal, every note, and every performance more meaningful. Cantata Academy Chorale wouldn’t be the same without you!
We recognize this has been a challenging year for many. Rising costs, economic uncertainty, shifting priorities, and more have placed real pressure on our communities. We feel these effects too.
Yet in times like these, music becomes even more essential. It reminds us beauty can emerge from difficulty, harmony is still possible, and there are still reasons to hope for a brighter future. This is why we are reaching out to you today.
If you are in a position to give, we ask for your renewed support. Please consider sponsoring at one of the following levels:
-
Applause ($1-99)
-
Encore ($100-249)
-
Bravo ($250-499)
-
Bravissimo ($500-999)
-
Standing Ovation ($1,000 or more)
Your gift directly supports our ability to:
-
Keep membership dues affordable so no singer is ever turned away due to financial hardship
-
Purchase new music and pay licensing fees to help support our fellow musicians
-
Provide programing that brings our community together when connection matters most
-
Ensure the sustainability and growth of Cantata Academy Chorale for years to come
There are two ways you can donate:
-
Mail a check to Cantata Academy Chorale P.O. Box 1958, Royal Oak, MI 48068
We understand that not everyone is able to contribute financially right now, but your goodwill and encouragement mean more than you know. If you can give, your generosity will resonate far beyond our performance venues. It will help sustain the joy, artistry, community, and music we build together.
Thank you for supporting Cantata through the changing seasons and through every note of music we create. We look forward to sharing the coming year’s performances with you and continuing to lift our voices in harmony.
With warm regards and best wishes for the holiday season,
Alisha Gawlik
Cantata Academy Chorale Board President
Friends of Cantata
The Friends of Cantata is a group of friends, family, and supporters of the Chorale. You may have noticed the Friends at one of our concerts—or maybe not! They are at concerts greeting patrons, selling tickets, acting as ushers and cleaning crew, setting up the after-glows, and enjoying the beautiful music. Because they handle the little jobs behind the scenes, our singers can focus on the music.
The Friends group is in need of additional volunteers. You can volunteer to assist in just one concert or at several - that is up to you. It’s very easy to become a Friend. To help out, please contact Cantata at cantata@cantataacademy.org.
You may use the button above, or mail a check to Cantata Academy Chorale at P.O. Box 1958, Royal Oak, MI 48068. We are a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt charitable organization. Your contributions are tax deductible to the fullest extent of the law, and your donation will be accepted with our thanks and a donation receipt.
