    Sad, but the world has changed, unfortunately. The support just isn't there any more.

    A way to create a singing culture is needed. Proficiency at "playing the radio" in society at large is the death of singing.

    This is sad, very sad.
    Events such as this increasingly make me feel, culturally, in a foreign country.

    Not to cast blame on anyone in particular, but I do wonder why the first time I'm personally hearing of their fundraising efforts is when they've failed.

    Was there no endowment? What of the income from recordings? No efforts to seek any wealthy patrons and or corporate sponsorships?

    The school has been in ch.11 bankruptcy for a couple of years, brought on probably by pædophilia in the last century. That is a legacy difficult to shake off.
