“A conflict of interest transaction is a transaction with the corporation in which a director of the corporation has a direct or indirect interest, as defined in ors 65.361. A conflict of interest transaction is not voidable or the basis for imposing liability on the director if the transaction is fair to the corporation at the time it was entered into or is approved either (a) by the vote of the board or a committee of the board by the affirmative vote of a majority of the board directors or the committee who have no direct or indirect interest in the transaction if the material facts of the transaction of the directors' interest are disclosed or known to the board or board committee or (b) by obtaining the approval of the attorney general of oregon or a circuit court of the state of oregon in an action in which the attorney general of oregon is joined as a party. For purposes of this section, a director of the corporation has an indirect interest in a transaction if (a) another entity in which the director has a material interest or in which the director is a general partner is a party to the transaction or (b) another entity in which the director is a director, officer or trustee is a party to the transaction, and the transaction is or should be considered by the board. A transaction may not be authorized, approved or ratified under this section by a single director. If a majority of the directors who have no direct or indirect interest in the transaction votes to authorize, approve or ratify the transaction, a quorum is present for the purpose of taking action under this section.”

“As one of the leading professional chamber choirs in north america both by budget and activity level, cappella romana aims to be the preeminent global proponent of early and contemporary vocal music inspired by byzantium, the slavic commonwealth, and their interactions with western traditions. Founded by music director alexander lingas in 1991, its highly focused programs offer a glimpse of the transcendent in vocal art, made possible by deep, original musicological and ethnographical research. Reaching more audiences each year and acclaimed recently in gramophone magazine ("a sound world of unique beauty"), the portland, oregon based ensemble presents a west coast concert series (portland, seattle, and, in prior years, in san francisco) as its main program offering. Collaborations with peers, such as portland art museum, portland baroque orchestra, kingdom sound gospel choir, and 45th parallel new music ensemble, reach broad audiences, as do its regional, national, and international tours. Cappella's recent international tours include performances in the netherlands, romania, hungary, serbia, and the united kingdom and national tours include performances in washington (dc), boston, minneapolis, sacramento, san francisco, st. Louis (mo), lincoln (ne), new york, los angeles, and seattle. Cappella records (cappella romana's own record label) now has over 35 released recordings, which are distributed by naxos of america, and a recent release of the st. Tikhon choir garnered a grammy nomination. Cappella romana was one of the earliest adopters of the regional arts & culture council's arts for all program. This program, begun in 2007, benefits citizens in the portland metropolitan area on food assistance (snap). Any holder of an oregon trail (snap) card may purchase 5 tickets to any cappella romana concert. The regular market-rate for tickets range from 22 to 80. Snap credit is not used for purchasing tickets. The arts for all program enables lower income individuals to experience the beauty of cappella romana's musical performance, in person, at a fraction of the regular price. Cappella romana concerts are open to the public without regard to race, color, ethnic origin, gender, religion, sexual orientation, or disability. We will not turn someone away for the lack of ability to pay. Cappella romana also provides its recordings without charge to the nonprofit all classical portland radio station to ensure that the greater community can experience our live performances and recordings. All classical's listenership is over 150,000. Cappella romana also offers free recitals of its musical program for the public as a gift to the community, in performances such as at portland's greek festival and for the northwest chapter conference of the american guild of organists. Cappella romana has also performed free of charge in hospitals, with a set of holiday carols for chronically ill patients there, and for weddings and funerals in its community. During the pandemic and now after, additional free performances were broadcast online and available worldwide. Program activity in fy24 cappella romana began fy24 with a project in july 2023, a presentation of a greek orthodox vespers (sung in greek and english) for the northwest conference of the american guild of organists. This performance of a traditional greek orthodox prayer service was astonishing to the attendees, who as organists are usually serving in catholic or protestant contexts. The reception was extremely positive from feedback gathered from attendees, many of whom had never heard byzantine chant before, here led (at the right choir) by photini downie robinson, who is the head chanter at holy trinity greek orthodox cathedral, and a regular member of cappella romana. A note was provided by cappella romana executive director mark powell, who led the left (second) choir. We opened our season in september/october 2023 with "odes of repentance," featuring music by arvo prt that appears als”
