Program areas at Continuo Arts Foundation

CAF Choral Program - The Continuo Arts nine choral ensembles experienced continued growth in 2023. All of the ensembles grew in size to approximately one hundred and forty-four members and families being served each week. Ensembles were featured in large scale local concerts as well as numerous community service appearances. As a result of large enrollment, curriculum for the three children's choir ensembles was adapted and faculty enlarged. Working in partnership with members, patrons, corporate and private sponsors, Continuo Arts continued true to our mission by making possible the education, performance and composition of music in ways which might otherwise be considered too unique or too expensive to be ordinarily under taken; giving precedence to considerations of quality over those of quantity; to artistic rather than to economic values and to opportunity over expediency.
