Rockford Choral Union receives no public funding and is managed entirely by volunteers who each year must raise approximately $25,000 to meet the expenses of presenting two concerts of Messiah. These expenses include a regional choir directed by a professional conductor, a chamber orchestra of top area professional musicians, a pipe organist, a harpsichordist, a trumpet soloist, four internationally-acclaimed vocal soloists and a variety of logistical issues that challenge us every year.
We are grateful to the many people, churches, businesses and foundations that provide significant financial support to the Rockford Choral Union through their sponsorships, memorials and special gifts.
