The Maestro's Circle
We invite you to become a member of the Maestro's Circle and join others who share a passion for music and a commitment to The Chorale.

Through their annual support, Maestro's Circle members play an important role in underwriting our concerts at Carnegie Hall and Lincoln Center.

OPERAS-IN CONCERT
Hearing great singers performing with a world-class chorus and orchestra at Carnegie Hall is an exhilarating experience. Operas-in-concert give listeners the freedom to more fully appreciate the composer's musical intentions. Audiences adore these spectacular evenings that showcase the talents of such artists as Bryn Terfel, Stephanie Blythe, Deborah Voigt, James Morris, Salvatore Licitra and Dmitri Hvorostovsky, to name only a few.

CHORAL CLASSICS
The majesty of Bach's Magnificat, the ecstasy of Brahms's Requiem, the drama of Britten's War Requiem—the core of The Collegiate Chorale's repertoire includes history's best-loved oratorios, requiems and masses. And, as New York City's virtuoso chorus, The Chorale excels in this repertoire.

SOLO RECITALS, SPECIAL EVENTS AND UNUSUAL GEMS
Great singing is uplifting! Each year we present some of the brightest stars from the world of opera and the Broadway stage in solo recitals and special musical evenings. From Bebe Neuwirth performing Kurt Weill to Salvatore Licitra singing about friends and lovers, the spirit of these events is light-hearted and above all...fun!

OUTREACH & EDUCATION
We are deeply committed to outreach and educational activities that involve students from the New York City public high schools. The goal of these activities is to develop future audiences and bring the joy of singing to young people in our community. Our Side-by-Side program offers high school students a priceless opportunity to participate in The Chorale's performances at Carnegie Hall and Lincoln Center. Hundreds of free tickets to our concerts are distributed each year to school children. And, The Chorale collaborates often with the City's most active choruses for young singers such as the Brooklyn Youth Chorus.

BENEFITS OF MEMBERSHIP
With a minimum annual contribution of $5,000, Maestro's Circle members have at their fingertips access to the best seats for Collegiate Chorale performances and personalized service that extends beyond Carnegie Hall to other vocal events worldwide. Members enjoy an insider's view of rehearsals, special events and receptions with internationally-renowned artists. For their generous patronage, members receive the most prominent recognition in Carnegie Hall's Playbill and other Chorale publications. They can rest assured that we will do our utmost to make their musical experiences memorable.

WAYS OF GIVING
We gratefully accept gifts of cash, as well as appreciated assets such as stocks and other securities that may offer tax advantages to the donor. Bequests and insurance policies are also vehicles to consider. Donations of airline miles, apartments for artists and hospitality points can make a real difference to our annual budget. In speaking with your accountant, tax advisor or investment professional, please consider the methods of giving, now and in the future, that best fit your personal style.
