“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.

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.

“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, russia, and western europe. 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 san francisco) as its main program offering. Collaborations with peers, such as portland art museum, portland baroque orchestra, and third angle new music, 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), 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 26 released recordings, which are distributed by naxos of america, and its 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 the grotto's christmas festival of lights and at portland's greek festival each october. 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, additional free performances were broadcast online and available worldwide. Program activity in fy21 beginning in march 2020, cappella romana pivoted from in-person performances to online offerings. At the time of the lockdown that month, cr was preparing tchaikovsky's divine liturgy for live concerts two days later, in collaboration with the pacific youth choir. The pyc was unable to participate, so instead our 16-member professional ensemble performed before an on-line audience of over 65,000 worldwide (9,953 in oregon). Subsequently, we offered online interactive discussion panels: 1) women in sacred chant, 2) the african american experience and orthodox music, and 3) the use of chant and choral music and english and heritage languages in orthodox contexts. The first panel featured female latin and greek chant specialists, with korean american anna song and photini downie robinson, both from portland, and dr. Sevi mazera-mamali from athens, greece. The second especially featured dr. Shawn wallace, associate professor of jazz studies at ohio state university, composer of a gospel orthodox vespers. The th”
