About

Arts Chorale is one of the only non-auditioned choirs at the University of Michigan, providing the opportunity for any student to sing in a choir. For Giving Tuesday, we are raising money for our scholarship fund, which allows students who cannot afford our semesterly dues to participate in Arts Chorale. Our choir is a community; we are the only choir on campus primarily composed of non-music major students, making our singers especially passionate about making music together in their little free time from being busy students. It is important to us that money is not a barrier for students to join our community and create beautiful music!

Dues for each student are $30 dollars. While the number varies, approximately 10 or more students are unable to cover this expense. With the cost of living increasing, we have also seen an upward trend in this number. Dues cover numerous expenses, but the biggest is putting on our concert every semester. For a student organization, the concert can be very expensive to put on, including paying instrumentalists, advertising for the event, continuing Arts Chorale traditions of honoring our director, collaborative pianist, and graduating members, as well as our post-concert banquet. Arts Chorale is an environment where students have the opportunity to make new friends, learn about choral singing and history, as well as work as a team toward a common goal of putting on the best concert we can. We would never let scholarship utilization prevent participation in Arts Chorale, but our current budget model is non sustainable. We thank you for your consideration and generosity in helping Arts Chorale support all of those who wish to sing.
