Music will include jazzy love ballads; tributes to Rodgers & Hammerstein; early American hymns; civil rights songs in recognition of Juneteenth; and a set of patriotic tunes in tribute to America’s 250th!

URGENT: The Future of Music in the Rogue Valley is on the Line

Currently, the arts ecosystem in Southern Oregon faces an unprecedented threat. As many of you know, Southern Oregon University is dealing with a serious financial crisis. To obtain emergency state funding, an outside consulting firm has recommended up to $20 million in large-scale cuts across the university. Among the programs on the chopping block? The SOU Music Department.

I cannot emphasize enough how devastating this loss would be to our region. The SOU Music Department is more than just a campus program; it is the vital core of our local arts scene. It trains the music educators who teach our children, nurtures performers who appear on our community stages, and supplies the artistic energy that makes the Rogue Valley so lively and vibrant.

Sunsetting this program will not only damage SOU’s reputation—its effects will reach far beyond the campus and permanently alter our community's cultural landscape.
The SOU Board of Trustees is set to vote on this plan in just 48 hours, on Friday, May 8. We cannot stay on the sidelines. We need to be part of the solution and press the Board to imagine a future for SOU that includes the arts.
Here is how you can help right now:

· ATTEND THE TOWN HALL TONIGHT: Join us tonight (Wednesday, May 6) from 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM at the Medford Public Library for a community forum moderated by John Frohnmayer. Show up and voice your support. Jerron Jorgensen will be there at 7:00 PM to lead SOU choir students in a powerful rendition of "Will the Circle Be Unbroken.” Let's fill the room.
· WRITE TO THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES: They don't need more financial data; they need to hear about the human impact. Write a personal plea to the board before Friday’s vote. Share what local music, the Chorale, and SOU's artistic presence have meant to your life and your family. They need to face the reality of what will be lost.

When we cut music education, we lose the spaces where our youth learn teamwork, problem-solving, and true confidence. Let’s unite to keep music alive.

If you joined us for our "Home for the Holidays" concerts, you felt it—the incredible power of 190 neighbors, from 3rd graders to seasoned adults, lifting their voices together. 🎶

For over 50 years, the Rogue Valley Choral Association has been the heartbeat of music in our valley. It’s a legacy started by Lynn and Doris Sjolund, and one we are fighting to protect.

But the reality behind the beautiful music is harsh right now. Rising venue costs and expenses are straining our budget.

❤️ Our Promise: We believe financial hardship should never silence a singer. This season, thanks to donors like you, we provided full tuition assistance to 24 singers (12 youth and 12 adults) so they could stay in the choir.

We need your help to keep that door open in 2026.

Before the year ends on December 31, will you make a tax-deductible gift to keep the Rogue Valley singing?

🎁 $300 sponsors an entire season for a youth student (tuition + wardrobe). 🎁 $150 helps offset music costs for the season.

Every dollar keeps the music playing.
