Hello to our Loyal Audience:
We hope you are all well and having a good Fall season of events. We need to share some news with you about the Choral Arts Society of Palm Coast. We have been deliberating about what to do this Fall as we would normally be preparing for our Christmas concerts in December.
Our numbers have been going down for each concert this past season. The group has gone from twenty-two singers for our last Christmas Concert, to twelve singers last May for the Broadway concert, and eight singers on the 4th of July. After consultation with several Board members and with Cheryl McGregor, our Music Director, the decision has been made that we will not continue with Choral Arts at this time. Please understand that this was not an easy decision to make, and we hope that you will understand that it was a necessary one. With these limited numbers it is too difficult a struggle to continue to perform and do justice to the music that we sing.
We’ve made it to twenty-five years of wonderful Music in Palm Coast, and we thank you for your continued patronage. Ending now allows us to bow out gracefully andcelebrate the fact that with our last season of concerts, we made it to that twenty-five-year milestone, which is a great achievement for any chorus. We are very proud of that fact!
Throughout our years of performances your donations and contributions have made it possible for us to grant scholarships to talented students aspiring to a career in music. We will honor our commitments to each of these young people throughout the term of their programs. Thank you for supporting the Arts through the Choral Arts Society.
We hope you will attend and enjoy the Community Chorus of Palm Coast in our town. They are an excellent group of performers and give two choral programs every season.
A note from our Music Director Cheryl McGregor:
Dear Friends, words cannot express my thankfulness for all of the years of music we have given to our community. I cannot believe that twenty-five years have passed. I thank you so very much for all of your contributions. I also thank St. Thomas Episcopal Church for giving us such a wonderful home. May God bless and keep you all. Continue the music.
Love, Cheryl
We wish you well and cannot thank you enough for your sustained patronage over these past twenty-five years. Many of you have been a very loyal audience. Peace and love to you all.
