Can you tell me more about the Foundation:
The Masterwork Music and Art Foundation was founded in 1955 by Shirley May who had a vision for cultivating excellence in the arts, focusing specifically on music. She worked closely with the renowned choral director, David Randolph, to create a choral society that set a prototype for excellence on a national level. The Chorus maintained a peak of critical acclaim through the 1960s and 1970s through winning critical reviews of their performances, special recording and invitations to perform oversees, as well as on a special PBS feature.
You can read more about Masterwork’s history on our blog post here: https://masterworkarts.blogspot.com/2019/02/may-25th-1955.html
The motivation for the event:
Over the years the Foundation has undergone a number of changes, including establishing itself as a separate entity from the Masterwork Chorus.
You can find out more about the Masterwork Chorus at www.masterwork.org.
Information about the Masterwork Foundation is available from www.masterworkarts.org. In addition, you may email the Foundation at masterworkarts@gmail.com and follow us on Facebook and on Twitter (@ArtsMasterwork).
Most recently, the Board has decided to expand the vision of the organization to serve masterful work in all of the arts through a series of grant offerings. More specifically, awards will be offered in music, dance, the visual arts and the literary arts. The Board is holding this event to celebrate this new phase and invite participation from our friends and neighbors in the Morristown community.
