DRAPER PHILHARMONIC
&
CHORAL SOCIETY

Reasons Founded

  • To bring more light and hope to the world through the impactful medium of beautiful music, presented in four concerts each year.

  • To express the testimony of Jesus Christ felt by our members as fellow Christians.

  • To renew in people’s hearts love for our country and a recognition of God’s hand in the establishment of our Constitution and freedoms; this is to be accomplished through the composition and presentation of four new works in an ‘American Covenant Series.’

Mission Statement

  • To offer an exciting inspiring entertainment alternative in the south valley area

  • To gather adult musicians for a personally-enriching professional musical experience

  • To support and build budding young musicians through side-by-side mentoring

  • To strengthen the community by providing elite opportunities for participation in and support of the arts

Goals

  • Make each concert an event not-to-be-missed

  • Provide four concerts a year while preparing to offer monthly concerts, including a Youth Concerto Night

  • Offer an auditioned group to adults who are musically talented and who desire to find musical fulfillment

  • Expand its membership to a 60-80 member orchestra and a 120-member choir

  • Work to support and expand the Vezzoso School of Music and its accompanying youth orchestras and choirs and establish the Vandewiele Conservatory of Fine Arts

  • Build a state-of-the-art venue that provides the needed space and technical tools for all of these entities to work together to serve the community and the world at the highest level of artistry

From the Founder

I know that my dreams for the future of this organization are mammoth in scope. I know it will take an unbelievable amount of work and much financial help to make them come true. But I am confident that these dreams will be realized. The Draper Philharmonic & Choral Society will continue to bring families together to experience the joy of uplifting music, the enjoyment of the performing arts, and an appreciation for God and our country. I am passionate about music. I am also passionate about the future lives of our talented youth and the future of our society. I am prepared to wear out my life in making these dreams a reality.
