ORLANDO | Central Florida Community Arts (CFCArts) is celebrating its 10-year anniversary with a virtual event on its YouTube channel Sept. 27.
The not-for-profit group got its start as a small choir in 2010 and over the last decade has grown to become the nation’s largest community choir, the state’s largest symphony orchestra and a community theatre.
“The event will commemorate the achievements of the organization as well as those who helped CFCArts become the organization it is today,” CFCArts stated in a press release.
Through its partnerships and collaborations, CFCArts reaches thousands of artists across a five-county region in Central Florida.
“To be able to celebrate the beginnings of Central Florida Community Arts and realize the tremendous amount of growth that has occurred within the last 10 years is incredible within itself, but then to also be able to take a step back and realize how many people CFCArts has impacted through that time is unbelievable,” said Joshua Vickery, founder and executive director of CFCArts, in a statement.
Along with the choir, orchestra and theatre, CFCArts has an academy that offers private lessons and group classes, outreach programs for under-resourced populations, arts experiences for healthy, older adults, and arts and wellness programs at numerous sites. After shutting down due to the COVID-19 pandemic last March, CFCArts has pivoted to digital offerings including online classes, virtual concerts and cabarets and a full virtual theatrical production.
In celebration of CFCArts’ decade of accomplishments, several of its donors have agreed to match, dollar-for-dollar up to $75,000, any donations made to CFCArts through Sept. 27.
CFCArts’ 10th anniversary virtual celebration is free to view but you are asked to RSVP at CFCArts.com/10th-Anniversary.
