December means Holiday Music
And this year, it means LIVE holiday music.
Celebrate the return of your Charlotte Master Chorale with our live, in-person performances for the 2021 holiday season. We cannot wait to again perform the timeless work of Handel’s Messiah with the Charlotte Symphony, share traditional Christmas carols with Christmas with the Charlotte Master Chorale: O Come All Ye Faithful and spread cheer with "Singin' the Brews."
Your support makes this all possible. To help, our Board of Directors will match the first $15,000 of contributions raised by December 31. That means the value of your gift is automatically doubled! Like all independent arts organizations, we rely on the generosity of our supporters—and even more so as we try to emerge from this pandemic. Charlotte Master Chorale's mission is to inspire unity in our community through extraordinary performances of diverse music. This holiday season, we celebrate the traditions that make this such a magical time of year. Thank you for your ongoing support.
Please consider making a gift today.
You make our music possible.

2021 Tax Benefits
Federal legislation passed in late December 2020 includes two important provisions for 2021 that make giving to the Charlotte Master Chorale and other nonprofits more advantageous to donors. Federal taxpayers who do not itemize their deductions can claim a deduction of up to $300 for cash contributions made during 2021 beyond that standard deduction.
Married couples filing jointly are allowed a deduction of up to $600 This is an increase from 2020, when the limit was $300 regardless of filing status. In addition, the legislation extends the ability for cash gifts of up to 100 percent of Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) to be counted as a charitable deduction, if you itemize. Previously, no more than 60 percent of AGI could be treated as a charitable deduction. We hope that donors to the CMC will take advantage of this time-limited opportunity to support our mission of helping to unify the community through music.
