Dear Sir: Assistant MUsicol Director
This letter will serve to bring you up-to-date on
the most recent activities of the Miami Choral Society, Inc:
On Tuesday, February 16, the choirs of the Society per-
formed a concert at :.he Robert King High Senior Citizens
Center. Those in at;.,- dance were ver. >)leased with the
hour-long program.
During Varch and April our choir performed in the
Miami Opera production of Turandot and Werther.
In May the %,,iami Boychoir toured for six days in
Puerto Rico. The choir performed six (6) formal concerts
as well as several impromptu programs. The boys spent
four days in the Mayaguez area and two days in San Juan.
Our audiences were large and enthusiastic. We taped two
television shows that will be aired throughout the island.
Once we arrived in Puerto Rico, we were the guests of
Antillian College for the duration of ovr star. The Boychoir
performed for the general public, college students, school.
children and church congregations.
The Miami Boychoir represented our community very well.
They were truly ambassadors of good will.
Sincerely yours,

I am writing this letter on behalf of the fliami Choral
Society, Inc. Since 1908 the Choral Society has provided
inhabitants of this city the opportunity to study and perform
the finest in choral literature with top professional teachers
and musicians.
Choirs under the au,pices of the Society have performed
concerts in our city, the state of Florida, the Southern U.S.,
Europe and Central and ;youth America. Each performance has
brought reLognition to PIiami. Each has characterized, through
the children, our cities uniqueness and potential.
Due to the current economic: crunch, not to mention cutbacks
in Federal and State aid to the arts, the Miami Choral Society
will show a $30,000 deficit for this season unless we receive
financial support from those we have supliorted for 14 years.
I therefore request a grant of $15,000 from the City of Miami
to the Miami Choral Society, Inc. If an outright gran` is not
possible, would it be agreeable for us to do five concerts for
the city for a donation of $3,000 each?
We have made every effort to reduce our costs for the remainder
of this season, so that we can devote our efforts towards
ending our fiscal year in the black, and planning ahead for the
future.
Thank you for your consideration of the enclosed proposal.
Sincerely,
Paul A. Eisenhart
Artistic Director
