As the University of North Texas embarks on a new fundraising campaign focused on student success, we are pleased to present this strategic and timely philanthropic opportunity – one that aligns so well with your passions and values, while concurrently enriching the professional preparation of our choral music students, thus equipping them for success in the global choral community. With this objective in mind, we respectfully request a gift of $500,000 to establish the: SAM CORYELL EXCELLENCE FUND IN CHORAL STUDIES
• Choral Artist in Residence Fund • Choral Student Residency Fund • Choral Ensemble Travel Fund • Choral Scholarships/Fellowships
Where Music Equips Immersive experiences with accomplished performers, scholars, composers and conductors are invaluable for the artistic and professional development of choral musicians and conductors. Resident artists provide high-level mentorship and fresh artistic/pedagogical/scholarly perspectives that develop the professional and artistic acumen of choral performers and conductors. Through new repertoire, innovative rehearsal techniques and unique interpretive insights that challenge and inspire both students and faculty, resident artists cultivate a dynamic learning environment that elevates artistry and deepens UNT’s connections to the global choral community. For conductors, a residency presents opportunities for professional dialogue and collaboration, fostering growth in leadership and vision. The Sam Coryell Choral Artist-in-Residence Fund As many as three of the world’s finest choral conductors would come to UNT for extended residencies to rehearse UNT choirs and mentor graduate conducting students. The College of Music also would curate opportunities to share these outstanding Coryell Resident Choral Artists with the larger Texas choral music community.
