Description:
The mission of the Eugene
Peace Choir is threefold:
excellence in singing; the
support of peace, social
justice, and environment;
and the maintenance of a
choir community based on
these principles.
The Eugene
Peace Choir is seeking funds
for two purposes: First, for
our member scholarship
program, and second, for our
music fund.
It has long
been the policy of the choir
that lack of financial
resources should never be a
barrier to full
participation in choir
activities. The member
scholarship fund pays dues
and reasonable expenses for
choir activities for those
in need. In recent years,
the demand on our
scholarship fund has
increased to four times its
previous level. With your
support, we will be able to
continue to include people
of all income levels on an
equal basis. The result is
an active, diverse, and
unified choir.
Our music
fund is used to obtain
musical scores, new musical
arrangements, and practice
CDs. All of these are
essential for the
development of excellence in
our music; all entail some
cost. Each year we
commission a choral
arrangement of a new song
with a peace, justice, or
environmental theme. We
exchange arrangements with
other choirs in different
locations, adding to the
peace and justice choral
repertoire generally. The
outcome will be more
diversity in our repertoire,
and ties with many choirs
supporting progressive
activism in diverse ways.
