Donate to Mendelssohn Club
Mendelssohn Club takes pride and pleasure in producing large-scale and often cutting-edge programs. As a chorus committed to performing a unique blend of the traditional and the contemporary at a professional level, we:
- hire a first-rate, full orchestra
- rent a performance venue appropriate for a large chorus and orchestra
- hire top quality soloists
- commission new works
This set of priorities is expensive. Ticket sales cover less than a third of the costs. Every year we count on contributions from foundations, corporations and loyal individuals who appreciate and support Mendelssohn Club’s artistic vision.
