Arts Activities Support
ACHF Arts Access
We will entertain at least 1,000 guests with an unexpected and eclectic repertoire of musical selections celebrating diverse winter holidays (including: Diwali, the Hindu festival of lights; Mawlid an-Nabi, the birth of Mohammed; Kwanzaa; Chanukah; Solstice; and Christmas) and spoken word pieces and poems examining themes of family, home, light, and hope through an LGBT lens. The concert will include community singers on several selections and a number of audience participation sing-along songs.The audience will be counted at each of our three scheduled performances and a guests will be invited and encouraged to complete either the hard copy of our audience survey included with each concert program or our online survey following the performance - a post-concert prize drawing will be held and one audience member who completed their survey will receive a set of our CDs. In addition, post-performance feedback is gathered from our chorus members, leadership team, and volunteers.
96% of our 1,137 audience members were “very satisfied” or “extremely satisfied” with their overall experience at our first-ever holiday concert in 26 years; We accomplished our first goal by challenging the artistic skills of our One Voice singers with a repertoire including selections sung in Hindu, Hebrew, Urdu, and Swahili. Additional selections sung in English were musically challenging and our singers provided a "Greek Chorus" background to several poem and spoken word selections.
