V Program Description:
The Canto Bello Master Chorale is a growing ensemble chorale that provides a
consistent repertory of classical choral works to the community of San Bernardino, as
well as the surrounding Inland Empire communities. The Chorale is constantly striving
to increase its audience base through advertising in the mass media, personal contact and
general mailings.
The Camo Bello Master Chorale is constantly working to improve its performance
presentation. We hire the San Bernardino Symphony as our accompanying orchestra,
We also have performed with the San Bernardino Symphony as part of the symphony
concert season and hope to again. We also hire top soloists from the Inland Empire
because we feel it is important to give local talent the opportunity to perform. Many of
the soloists that the chorale hires have performed in major performance forums including
the Los Angeles Opera.
The Camo Bello Master Chorale has increased its efforts in advertising and fund
raising and continues to strive to improve its funding base and its name recognition.
The Chorale proposes to increase its audience base through tailoring its
performances to meet the changing and diversifying tastes of the local community. There
are now several choral organizations in the San Bernardino area and the Chorale proposes
to adjust our focus to capture the audience that is enthused about and will support the
small ensemble works. We will also concentrate this year on more collaboration with
other choral organizations, including San Bernardino Valley College.
We will continue to work in close union with the San Bernardino Symphony, when
fmancially feasible, and always hire the best soloists available.
A-I
2000-268
SECOND REQUEST:
Program Description:
The Canto Bello Master Chorale proposes to present an "Opera Gala" on October
29, 2000. This event would be a black-tie dinner event scheduled to be held at the
Radisson Hotel Ball Room.
The Opera Gala would feature three presentations:
The Cafe scene, Act II, La Boheme - Puccini
Old Man River Scene, Act I, Show Boat - Kern
Finale, Act II, Die Fledermaus - Strauss
These three combined will give an opportunity for many arias, solos, groups and chorus
to perform. The variety of the selections will give an opportunity for everyone to find
their favorite opera/operetta.
The success of our "Grand Night for Singing" is the impetus for this evening
event, Many people have asked the Master Chorale to provide this special event.
Since this is the first event of its kind in San Bernardino, we anticipate good response.
The Chorale is currently working to obtain the required funding to put on such a
large event as well as contacting name soloists who will provide the draw for this special
event.
The continued growth of the cultural and performing arts in San Bernardino is very
encouraging. This event will provide another venue for the arts to shine in San
Bernardino. We anticipate that this event will become an annual event in the cultural life
of San Bernardino,
2000-268
VI. Estimated number of persons expected to benefit from this program:
approximately 3000 ~
a) Number of persons by paid attendance: approximately 2750
b) Number of persons by complimentary admission:~ more than 250
c) Number of performances scheduled: 6 fi rm
d) Total attending all performance (a plus b): 'approximate1y 3000
VII. Need Statement:
The Canto Bello Master Chorale, with additional funding, will be able to reach a
wider audience through increased collaboration with other organizations this year. We
will also be able to increase our advertising efforts which will bring a greater name
recognition in San Bernardino and the surrounding Inland Empire. The increased name
recognition will bring us a greater funding base which will enable the chorale to increase
the number of performances and repertory.
The Canto Bello Master Chorale, with additional funding, will be able to ensure
that we have a consistent level of expertise in conductor, accompanist and soloists, which
in turn will bring increased recognition of San Bernardino's performing arts community.
We believe a strongly supported choral organization, which hires the resident
symphony, is a necessity. The San Bernardino Symphony charges us the same union rates
as any other hiring organization, so this is a major expense when we hire an orchestra.
This strong support acts as increased recognition by the City of San Bernardino to the
resident arts community and the community at large, as well as, the entire Inland Empire,
A-2
2000-268
VIII. Intended Results:
~
The Canto Bello Master Chorale anticipates a broader audience base with expanded
collaboration. We also expect to have greater name recognition and more extensive
funding base from the local population. With the requested funding, the Canto Bello
Master Chorale will be able to increase its advertising budget which will be divided
among all the various media, as well as, provide proper remuneration for our conductor.
We will also be able to ensure that the level of expertise of leadership, accompanist and
soloists will remain high. The Canto Bello Master Chorale will be able to promote the
performing arts of San Bernardino throughout the surrounding communities of the Inland
Empire.

XII. Future ObjectiveS
===========================================-----------
-----------===========
The Canto Bello Chorale has a continuing commitment to provide the City
of San Bernardino and the Inland Empire with good choral music. The chorale
leadership understands the constant need for new funding sources to ensure this
continued growth. Some of the following areas were addressed this past season,
however work needs to continue.
I. Increase the membership of the board of directors and make the board
more community oriented. Chorale officers will serve as additional
members of the board of directors. Kick off scheduled for Sept.
2. Present one or more fundraising concerts which are sponsored by
the chorale. This will bring in income without major expense such as
music and rehearsal times. It will also raise the public awareness of
the chorale through greater diversity of performances.
3. Make an effort to increase the number of grants applications. This will
take a considerable amount of time for research and paperwork.

Inland Empire Symphony for many of our concerts and also regularly perform on
the symphony's season. Our soloists are area residents who have performed for
many major forums including the Los Angeles Opera. The Canto Bello Master
Chorale continues to grow as a performing organization. Last season the chorale
had 42 members and anticipates continued growth this season, The Canto Bello
Master Chorale has a continuing commitment to provide the City of San
