Iowa City Public Art Advisory Committee:
I am writing to express my enthusiastic support for the grant application submitted
by The Englert Theatre.
I am a hobby musician and singer,and as an adult,I have found avenues to create
and participate in music among friends in living rooms,in churches with bands and
choirs,and formal environments with sheet music and directors.I have often
reflected on the fact that without personal connections,free time to commit to a
community choir,or the bravery to do karaoke,there are few opportunities to
experience the sound,connection,and emotion that is found in creating music once
we leave our high school choirs or garage bands.
For years,I have dreamed of bringing community members together to make a
low-barrier choir,focusing not on creating excellence but on creating an experience
of connection and fun through communal singing.When I approached The Englert
team,they enthusiastically embraced the idea,and the opportunity to get matching
funds to make it come to fruition is the last piece of the puzzle.
I couldn’t be more excited about this opportunity,and ask that you consider
supporting it.
All my best,
Amy Hospodarsky
