For over 60 years, the Santa Clara Chorale has been able to bring music to a wide and diverse audience through the kind and generous support of the community. Please consider adding your support today!
Introducing the

Diamond Anniversary Chorus of Supporters

Whether you’ve been in the audience for years or a first-timer this season, you are a valued member of our musical family, and we appreciate your commitment to fueling the Bay Area arts community. We rely heavily on the generous supplemental support of friends like you, especially as we continue to feel the after-effects of the pandemic.

In celebration of our 60th season, we’re fittingly transforming our donor community into the Diamond Anniversary Chorus of Supporters. This year, we’ve changed our donation tiers to match the structure of the Chorale, so that this critical part of our family is able to feel like they’re part of the anniversary party! And what’s more: each of our tiers has an exciting benefit included in thanks for your donation:

Chorister ($60–$299): Consider donating $60 in recognition of our 60 years, or $285 to fund one Chorale singer’s membership. Receive a commemorative Diamond Anniversary Button at the May concert!
​
Section Leader ($300–$599): Each of the four voice parts of the Chorale is led by its section leader, a coveted seat in the Chorale each season. By generously donating in this tier, you will receive an invitation to an exclusive talkback session with Artistic Director Scot Hanna-Weir as he discusses his brand new composition, which will be premiered in May. (plus above benefit)

Star Soloist ($600–$999): Some of our most exciting performances in our history pair the Chorale with amazing soloists. Donating at this level gets you an exclusive invitation to an intimate recital featuring some of our favorite vocal soloists of seasons past with our own Scot Hanna-Weir at the keys! (plus above benefits)

Artistic Director’s Tenth Anniversary Podium ($1000+): Artistic Director Scot Hanna-Weir has been at the helm of the Chorale for 10 years, and by generously donating at this top tier, you will receive an invitation to Scot’s Tenth Anniversary Celebration, a private wine and cheese pairing party. (plus above benefits)

There is a beautiful symbiotic relationship that exists between Chorale and audience: you help to fuel our performances with your attendance, your heartwarming applause, and your continued generosity — and we provide you with the support you need at that moment through beautiful song. All of us at the Chorale are so humbled to be part of this relationship with you, and as we honor our sixty-year legacy, we hope you’ll be by our side again for this musical ride.

Our Diamond Anniversary Chorus of Supporters Annual Fund ends June 30, 2023.

What Your Donations Support

The funds the Chorale raises through ticket sales account for approximately 25% of our annual income. But as the costs for everything from purchasing music to hiring instrumentalists and soloists continue to rise, fund raising efforts are especially important.
Whatever the size of your gift, every cent goes to support our choral music programs. Your donations allow the Chorale to perform in the beautiful setting of Mission Santa Clara as well as in other Bay Area locations. Our programs include children, high school, and college age music students who come to learn and perform with the Chorale. Your generosity also allows us to hire professional soloists and orchestras, perform in community concerts, and provide affordable ticket prices including senior and student discounts.
Your tax deductible gift makes a difference. A contribution of $25 buys a major choral score for a singer; $150 pays for one evening of a rehearsal accompanist's time; $250 pays for a professional soloist or an instrumentalist; $1000 pays for a soloist quartet or instrumental quartet.

How to Give to the Chorale

Our annual fund drive takes place each Spring, but donations can be made at any time during the year. Make checks payable to the Santa Clara Chorale and mail to:
P. O. Box 65, Santa Clara, CA 95052
If you prefer, you may donate online through PayPal for non-profit organizations. Please click on the "Donate" button to the right of this page.
Consider increasing the value of your gift by asking your employer to match your contribution or to sponsor a concert or orchestra performance.
