This project aims to obtain funds to purchase a piano 1/4 tail, for transformation to Multipurpose Room of the Headquarters Coral Luísa Todi in a concert hall.
Create a new Concert Hall
Choir Luisa Todi has a headquarters building with 7 floors, where it develops its activities, both for rehearsing the chore (adult, youth and child) and for the Conservatory of Arts’ classes.
Apart from its teaching activity and rehearsals for concerts’ preparation, Choir Luísa Todi intends to make its headquarters an intense cultural activity space, by holding several concerts in its multipurpose hall which has a capacity for 200 people. In order to make it possible this room needs to be equipped with some instruments, namely a grand piano and some sound equipment.
Our project’s objective is to create an annual program for that space (A new Concert Hall), making it a permanent cultural activity polo. In order to accomplish it we need to get the necessary funds to purchase of a piano and sound equipment.
