THE ORDERING OF MOSES UPDATE

Thank you to all who contributed to our Indiegogo Campaign in support of our season-end production of the Nathaniel Dett oratorio The Ordering of Moses. We are pleased to announce we reached our minimum goal at $20,095. The campaign is now closed, and we are seeking the rest of the funds for this event via other grant funders. Our intent now is to pay every single performer, including all 100 members of the choir, which will be Chorale Le Chateau. If you wish to support us, please feel free to donate via PayPal or by mail via the instructions below.

Donations of any amount are much appreciated.

Thank you to all who have supported us in the past.
