Chorus Christmas CDs

Released in 2011, this most recent offering from the Cleveland Orchestra Chorus is available only to donors
contributing a new gift of $20 or more to the Chorus Fund. The Spirit of the Season CD features
selections from recent Christmas Concerts with the Chorus and The Cleveland Orchestra under
the direction of Robert Porco.

The private label CD is not available for purchase, but is offered as a special thank-you gift for
donations of $20 or more. The money raised goes to help fund the Chorus’s touring and educational
activities. Donations can be made at any of this season’s Cleveland Orchestra Christmas Concerts
at Severance Hall, or by calling the Chorus Office at 216-231-7374.

This new album is one in a long line of private CDs created to help raise funds for
