​Dear Friends of WRC:

​

These last few years have been powerful for the Western Reserve Chorale. The chorale has faced a number of changes and challenges, met them as opportunities, and found success. We are writing to request your help to meet two pressing needs for the continued success of our chorale. 

From the onset of the pandemic to this past year, you have remained engaged in inventive and enduring ways: we explored online rehearsals and created virtual performances; transitioned back to in-person singing; and relocated to new rehearsal and performance space - twice! Throughout it all, you have maintained community with one another. As you can all attest, the chorale has returned - now five years post-pandemic - to a full membership with 100+ voices joining together in wonderful music. 

 

This continued success despite challenges is accomplished through the dedication, leadership, and support of you as chorale members, as well as the support of your friends, colleagues, and our wider northeast Ohio community. 

 

Today, your help is requested for two pressing chorale needs! The chorale is seeking your help to overcome our next challenge while simultaneously meeting an opportunity for positive change. The board is hopeful that you help us find the Keys to Our Sustained Success ― in the form of a campaign for eighty-eight keys and a vision for our future. The WRC Board and Staff have identified two pressing needs: 1) a new piano to provide the artistic support the chorale requires, and 2) a planning consultant to collaboratively develop a sustainable vision for the enduring future of the chorale.
