It’s official - our new umbrella organization, Musical Arts Indiana, is now in place, helping us to manage our growth and ensure our longevity. What does this mean for our audience? Perhaps very little. In fact, this re-organization merely reflects the evolution of Vesper Chorale over the last ten years. Some new elements you might have observed include:
Broader, more diverse repertoire
Higher level of professionalism
Larger audience
Recordings
Diverse Journeys concert series
New graphics
The Children’s Choir of Michiana
The Octet, now grown to 12 members and called Consortia
Since April of 1993, Musical Arts Indiana (Formerly Vesper Chorale, Inc.) has offered over 140 concerts of inspirational music to the Michiana Community, affirming our commitment to education and choral excellence through performances of the highest quality. We are still a 501(c)3 not-for-profit corporation. We are the same people offering to Michiana the same wonderful music – just more of it.
We are looking for singers of Spanish language and heritage to join Vesper Chorale and Orchestra in an upcoming concert. Part of our Diverse Journeys Concert Series, this performance will feature a work by Spanish composer Jorge Muñiz. Below is a flier, printed in both English and Spanish, which I ask you to put in the hands of persons who might be interested in such a project. Since Mr. Muñiz is local (he teaches at I. U. S. B. and Goshen College), he will be intimately involved in the growing momentum towards this event.

Estamos buscando cantantes de la lengua española y el patrimonio para unirse a Vesper Coral y Orquesta en un próximo concierto. Parte de nuestra variada serie de conciertos Viajes, esta actuación contará con una obra del compositor español Jorge Muiz. A continuación se muestra un folleto, impreso en Inglés y Español, lo que le pido que ponga en manos de personas que podrían estar interesadas en este proyecto. Dado que el Sr. Muiz es local (que enseña en la universidad y IUSB Goshen), que estará íntimamente involucrada en el creciente impulso hacia este evento.
