UNDERPRIVILEGED ORGANIZATIONS & POPULATIONS

Do you work with an organization that serves underprivileged populations?  Is your institution seeking to grow and reach out, but is hampered by a limited budget for music purchase?  One of the missions of the Jane Sullivan Resource Choral Library is to provide music for such organizations through a membership grant and/or reduced rental fees.

PRESERVATION

The Jane Sullivan Choral Resource Library has been collecting rare and long out-of-print works from across the country as we seek to preserve great choral music.  Many quality editions are no longer available through traditional sources, but are preserved for research and performance here at the JSCRL.  Our staff is carefully reviewing each music score to ensure that it is protected and preserved for many generations to come.
