Each year, hundreds of enthusiastic people give to VocalEssence, showing their appreciation for fine music. Their generous gifts account for over 20% of money raised each year. Together with ticket revenue, investment income, and corporate, government, and foundation grants, these vital contributions support:

• concert expenses
• ticket subsidies
• the WITNESS School Program
• national and international tours
• radio broadcasts
• salaries and administrative costs

Education and outreach programs are expanding, incurring further costs, but VocalEssence is committed to balancing its budget as we have for every year since being founded as the Plymouth Music Series in 1969.
