MUSICAL AND EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS: THE SHELDON SEEKS TO PRESENT QUALITY MUSIC IN MANY DIVERSE GENRES. 47 IN PERSON CONCERTS THIS YEAR WERE SUCCESSFULLY PRESENTED IN THE HISTORIC SHELDON CONCERT HALL AND OUTDOOR PLAZA TO APPROXIMATELY 17,628 PATRONS. WE ALSO VIRTUALLY STREAMED A CONCERT FEATURING STEEP CANYON RANGERS FOR A PAYING AUDIENCE IN THE FALL OF 2022. THE SHELDON ALSO SEEKS TO INTRODUCE, BUILD AN APPRECIATION FOR AND IN SOME CASES ADVANCE THE ARTISTIC CAPABILITIES OF YOUNG PEOPLE IN BOTH MUSIC AND THE VISUAL ARTS. THE SHELDON CONTINUED ITS STREAMING PLATFORM IN ADDITION TO 30 LIVE PERFORMANCES FOR OUR EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS, WITH 28 OF THESE STREAMED, INTRODUCING OVER 31,431 CHILDREN TO A WIDE RANGE OF MUSIC - INCLUDING JAZZ, FOLK, CLASSICAL, BLUES, THE AMERICAN MUSICAL, AND MUSIC FROM THE LEWIS AND CLARK ERA - AND INTRODUCED YOUNG PEOPLE TO A WIDE RANGE OF VISUAL ARTS - INCLUDING PHOTOGRAPHY, DRAWING, PAINTING, SCULPTURE AND ARCHITECTURE THROUGH VIRTUAL GALLERY TALKS. IN JUNE 2023, 20 STUDENTS OF THE ALL-STAR CHORUS TOOK A 4-DAY TRIP TO NEW YORK CITY TO PERFORM IN CARNEGIE HALL. THE TRIP INCLUDED A VISIT TO CENTRAL PARK, SEEING A BROADWAY SHOW, CRUISING AROUND THE STATUE OF LIBERTY ON A DINNER CRUISE AND CHECKING OUT THE CITY FROM THE TOP OF THE EMPIRE STATE BUILDING, BUT THE HIGHLIGHT WAS PARTICIPATING WITH A MASS-CHOIR, MADE UP OF SINGERS FROM ALL OVER, REHEARSING AND PERFORMING THE GOSPEL MASS BY ROBERT RAY IN CARNEGIE HALL. IT WAS THE MOST CHALLENGING, LONGEST PIECE OF MUSIC THE STUDENTS HAD LEARNED AND PERFORMED. THE CULMINATING PERFORMANCE WAS ACCOMPANIED BY AN ORCHESTRA, AND PROFESSIONAL SOLOISTS.GeographiesNot indicatedDatesJul 1, 2022 – Jun 30, 2023Source990No causes providedNo populations provided–$1.4MCommunity Events and Beverage Recovery
