[HSChorus] Question re Chorus Endowment Funds 24-Jul-2007 09:39:56

Hello all. Hope you're enjoying your summer! I don't want to stir up any kind of hornet's nest, but I do have a question that I hope someone can answer.

Re the statement in the most recent HSC Chronicles about the Chorus Endowment making possible the performance of the Mendelssohn St Paul.are there any kind of written guidelines about what the Endowment $$ can be used for? Is it completely up to the discretion of the conductor? Does the Chorus Council have any input into those kinds of decisions and, if so, is there a process for chorus members to give input to the Chorus Council prior to these discussions?

I ask from the standpoint of someone who has contributed a decent amount of $$ every year to the endowment (and I suppose that due diligence would have suggested I should know the answers to the questions I have asked before donating $$, so I am sorry for my own lapse either in knowledge or memory! :-)).and although of course it's nice to sing another piece (and was nice to
do the CD, which as I recall was also supported by the Endowment), I also think there might be other uses for that $$ that might benefit the chorus in different ways (eg some of the "Western Wind' ensemble kinds of training that Roger Cutler has talked about in the past.).

J)…and although of course it’s nice to sing another piece (and was nice to do the CD, which as I recall was also supported by the Endowment), I also think there might be other uses for that $$ that might benefit the chorus in different ways (eg some of the “Western Wind’ ensemble kinds of training that Roger Cutler has talked about in the past…).

Thanks for your help - - inquiring minds want to know!

Cheers. suzanne
