Support Our Work

For close to 50 years, the Oratorio Chorale has promoted and strengthened the choral arts in Maine through innovative programming and high-quality performances of music as a living art. As an essential part of Classical Uprising, Oratorio Chorale benefits from general support for all Classical Uprising programs as well as from gifts designated for Chorale purposes. Contributions from individuals, businesses, and foundations provide essential funding for our programs and help us create community through great art.

Oratorio Chorale is a program of Classical Uprising, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization governed by a board of trustees. All gifts to Classical Uprising and its programs are tax-deductible to the extent permitted by law.
