By now you know the facts. You know that the arts will improve the quality of your life and our community both directly and indirectly. You know that MRC & Company is stronger than ever with an exciting, forward-looking plan and a new business-oriented Board of Directors. You know that there are programs for people young, old, and in-between who love classical music, jazz and musical theater and for those who want to see young people in Central Vermont receive the highest levels of arts education available. Since 1993 the Mad River Chorale has moved from an unincorporated community chorus to an arts organization with:
Multiple ensembles that have performed across the state;
A team of working professional performers and arts educators who serve as a solid undergirding for all of its programs;
Relationships with leading artists and performers in the United States who have performed with and provided educational opportunities for our members and the general public;
The highly successful launch of Counterpoint, which has gone on to perform nationwide and been broadcast on National Public Radio and Public Television;
More than 100 performing members, dozens of performances per year, and a consistently positive balance sheet.
However, despite these credentials, public sponsorship and underwriting are essential to the financial life of any arts organization. In the same way that it is impossible for a Hollywood movie to get made today without product placement or a baseball team to pay its salaries without the money from major sponsors, performing arts organizations need financial partners and we hope to provide our partners with benefits that are both meaningful and fun. Some of our new membership levels are represented by the values of musical notes: quarter notes, half notes, etc... and what is critically important to remember is that music cannot be made unless many notes are included. So, we encourage you to join at the level that feels right for you and want you to know that your support at that level is not only important but sincerely appreciated.A team of working professional performers and arts educators who serve as a solid undergirding for all of its programs;

| $2500+ | The Café Noir team will present a holiday performance at the time and location of your choosing. A group of professional singers will arrive at your house or place of business and sing up to an hour’s worth of your favorite selections (chosen by you from an extensive list of repertoire). Whether you are looking for Dickensian carolers or crooners from a swingin’ pops-style holiday bash, you’re covered. | |
| $5,000+ | Imagine having a group of professional singers and actors spicing up your next private or company party. You pick the repertoire from our past performances like The Vegas Show, Music of the Night, An Evening with Andrew Lloyd Webber, Godspell, A Night of Italian Songs, Into the Limelight, Sentimental Guy - The Music of Ben Folds, and many more. With fifteen shows (and counting) under our belt there are a lot of tunes to choose from. We will work out all the details with you including the on-site logistics, number of performers (including instrumentalists), lighting and sound requirements, repertoire and the length of the performance. | |
| $10,000+ | Imagine having your own customized cabaret for your next big party or event. Piero Bonamico will work extensively with you to develop a program centered around the theme of your choosing and then Director Scott Weigand, Choreographer Taryn Noelle and the performers you select will rehearse and ultimately perform the show at the time and location of your choosing. Surprise your spouse with a cabaret of all your favorite songs at an anniversary party, surprise your kids with a performance of their favorite Disney songs at a birthday party or Bar Mitzvah, or build a show around a specific topic that relates to your business’s mission or industry - the sky’s the limit. Due to the complexity of this item you will need to allow us a minimum of three months preparation time. | |
