“To perform choral music in a variety of venues that will make a significant artistic and cultural contribution to local communities in northern new mexico, particularly young people.”

“The sangre de cristo chorale rehearsed weekly from september to may and performed three different repertory concerts, one during the fall in october 2016, one in december 2016 and one during the spring in april 2017. Each repertory had one performance each in los alamos and santa fe, new mexico, serving a total of 650 persons. Each concert repertory was prepared by the chorale's contracted music director with the assistance of a contracted accompanist. Members of the chorale also provided outreach to the choral programs at the santa fe public schools in the spring. Four outreach performances were given during the month of december servicing an additional 350 people. Also as part of its outreach program, it educated six apprentices, who participated as regular chorale members, and provide four scholarships to high school students pursuing continuing musical education at the college level. During the year the chorale leadership and members continued to work the 2016 five-year strategic plan. Accomplishments during the year included some highlights based on goals and measures set. They included: an artistically successful year with growth in individual responsibility of membership for rehearsal preparation and favorable response from audiences to the year's programs; a move toward an organizational structure for the 21st century with new web site, ticketing and credit card sales management, and new accounting software. We also were able to plan the upcoming 40th anniversary season under a new rehearsal model despite the resignation of the current music director the end of the 2016-2017 season.”
