How the Sacramento Choral Society Built a World-Class Orchestra Through Community

#nonprofit #music #podcast #orchestra #philanthropy #symphony #musician #conductor #leadership #community #culture #art #boardmembers #volunteer #chorus #sacramento #interview In this episode of the Nonprofit Podcast Network, I sit down with Donald Kendrick, founder and artistic leader of the Sacramento Choral Society to reflect on 30 years of music, leadership, and cultural impact. We explore how a volunteer chorus built and sustains its own professional union orchestra — a model that’s virtually unheard of in the United States. From Carnegie Hall to international tours in China and Europe, the Choral Society has elevated Sacramento’s cultural presence on the global stage. This conversation goes beyond music. It’s about passion, volunteerism, succession planning, fundraising, and what it takes to build something that lasts. As the organization prepares for its next chapter, we discuss what the future holds — and what kind of leadership will carry this remarkable legacy forward. If you believe in the power of the arts, community, and nonprofit leadership, this episode is for you. 🎟 Learn more at SacramentoChoral.org 00:00 Introduction and Welcome 01:33 Overview of the Sacramento Choral Society 04:23 International Tours and Cultural Impact 05:23 Community Outreach and Support 06:45 Reflections on 30 Years of Leadership 15:19 Collaborations and Partnerships 18:34 Funding and Financial Strategies 22:49 The Future of the Organization 31:40 Success Stories and Career Highlights 38:11 Formation and Achievements of the Chorus 43:24 Succession Planning and Future Vision Thank you so much for listening to this nonprofit story!
