Critical Update: Every Gift Matched Through June 30

Dear Friend of SACRA/PROFANA,

On behalf of the SACRA/PROFANA Board, Staff and Singers, I want to thank you for your support in making Season 16, “Mirrors, Windows, and Sliding Glass Doors,” a great artistic success. From “Rumours: Un-Covered” to “Sliding Glass Doors,” featuring renowned conductor and composer Dr. Brandon Waddles, Artistic Director Juan Carlos Acosta curated a wonderful lineup to celebrate the human voice’s enduring power and our shared experiences.

Although the season was artistically amazing, financially it has been difficult, and we need to ask for your help. Small non-profits like SACRA/PROFANA are finding ourselves in a very challenging fundraising environment, particularly when it comes to grants.

In the last few weeks, two of the significant grants we were slated to receive were pulled out from under us. A $10,000 grant from the NEA was withdrawn due to “changes in grantmaking priorities,” and a $49,000 grant from the State of California has been removed from the Governor’s proposed budget.

Because of this, the Board of Directors decided to do a Matching Funds campaign for the first time in the organization’s history. Every dollar donated between now and June 30 will be matched by the board up to $24,000. Please join me and others in making a tax-deductible gift of any amount.

Individual donations have always been essential to our success, and now, more than ever, your support is crucial. Your gift will allow us to continue performing the works of living composers, deepen our outreach to kids through music education, and continue our advocacy for social justice through music. You can contribute online: www.sacraprofana.org/donate or mail a check to PO Box 712049, San Diego, CA 92171-2049.

Please head to our website and consider donating for more beautiful music and growth of music education through student outreach like our Summer Choral Intensive and more!

Art at its best can simultaneously be a window, and a mirror (in the right lighting) and a portal through which we can walk through to engage with the subject. In this program, we slide that door open to walk through and engage with a culture or perspective that may not be our own. For this concert we will feature renowned conductor, composer, and educator Dr. Brandon Waddles in a program of his own music as well as others rooted in the legacy of Black Americans. Dr. Waddles’ own compositions are steeped in the history of African American sacred music, including that of the Spiritual tradition, as well as contemporary gospel, while developing his own musical style and language that pulls on those sources and many others.

@conductorjuan shares his experience and initial thoughts during the world premiere of this groundbreaking work. This piece is a musical adaptation of Beethoven’s Heiligenstadt Testament; inviting listeners to empathize with the great composer and his agonizing hearing lost.

Sacra/Profana will be singing this piece along with many other beautiful works this upcoming Saturday. We hope to see you there.

Choral music, perhaps more than any artform, carries with it the legacy of its rich history right up to the current period. It is not uncommon for choral programs to feature music stretching back four, five, or even six centuries, alongside music of living composers. In this program we will peer into the window of our choral heritage by performing some of the best loved pieces from the historical cannon and pairing them with some of the luminaries of contemporary choral music.
Inspired by the work of Dr. Suzy Digby and the Golden Bridge; the idea that California is going through a golden age of choral music, not unlike that of the Tudor period in England.

A Candle in the Window: Saturday evening’s concert held space for both the light and the shadows of the season. Through songs of hardship, courage, hope, and love, we explored the profound symbol of the candle - a beacon of hope, a guide home, and a reminder that even in grief or uncertainty, light persists. Thank you for joining us in this calm yet powerful reflection. May we all carry the warmth of that light into the world. 🙂❤️

“... Facing the rising sun of our new day begun, let us march on till victory is won.”

Juneteenth is a time to honor the journey of Black Americans and to recommit ourselves to the ongoing fight for justice and equality. Singing these lyrics, we feel the deep pain of our past and the enduring hope for our future. As we sing, we are reminded of the work still ahead and the power we have when we unite our voices and efforts.

Thank you for being part of this special moment in our February program. Let’s continue to lift each other up, speak out, and strive for a world where true freedom and equality are a reality for all.
