Running Côr Persain involves various essential costs to ensure a smooth and professional experience for both performers and audiences. Key expenses include: • Venue Hire for weekly rehearsals and concerts • Musical Team we have the best in the business • Sheet Music and Licensing around £4 per copy or £100+ for a full set with performance rights • Marketing and Promotion (between £50 and £300 per event) to attract audiences. Even this website costs money! • Concert Clothes are key for us to create a professional, unified appearance that enhances stage presence and equality. • Choir folders at £10 per member help create a cohesive appearance Côr Persain is in need of crucial upgrades to our musical equipment. Our piano is over 15 years old and no longer serves us well, while our PA system is reaching the end of its life. Replacing the PA system will cost £2,500. We are also looking to purchase tiered, portable staging to improve our concert setups, which is estimated at £6,000. These upgrades are essential for maintaining the quality of our performances and ensuring a top-tier experience for both our choir and our audience. Your support will help us continue to deliver the music we love.
