On behalf of Dean Applegate and the Board of Directors, thank you for your interest in Cantores in Ecclesia and its mission to preserve and promote Gregorian Chant and Sacred polyphony within its original liturgical context. We are entirely dependent upon your support for our survival. Primarily a liturgical choir, we rely on freewill offerings and individual contributions to sustain our challenging and ambitious year-round program of sacred music.
One of the highlights of the choir’s program for many Portlanders is its Annual William Byrd Festival. Founded in 1997 by Director Dean Applegate, the two week Festival has achieved international recognition, attracting musicologists and artists from throughout the United States and abroad. It is an expensive enterprise, yet most events are open to the public without charge, with freewill offerings at Festival lectures, Choral Evensong and Mass. Concerts are kept affordable, in hopes that a treasury of sacred music too often unheard might be widely accessible to new listeners. This would not be possible, nor would any of the work Cantores in Ecclesia does throughout the year be possible, without the countless volunteer hours donated by the Choir’s Founder and Director, Dean Applegate, and the continued generosity of our benefactors and friends.
Help us to continue the dream begun nearly 25 years ago by supporting our work today. Attend a Latin Mass at St. Stephen’s Church, and bring a friend or neighbor. Give a one-time donation to the choir, or make a monthly commitment of support. Many employers have matching funds available for qualifying nonprofit corporations; ask your employer today if yours has such a program. Our Federal Tax I.D. number is # 41-2042868.
We are deeply appreciative, and grateful for your gift. We promise you that each and every contribution is spent carefully and wisely, to strengthen and sustain the choir’s mission and secure its future.
Thank you.
