Governance
This organization files the short tax form, which does not ask about boards, policies or audits. That is normal for a small charity and is not a mark against it.

Programs described in its return (3)
- $100,000 spent. Resounding Achord Productions is home to 3 ensembles Resounding Achord Chromatic Convergence and Pariter. This year the organization presented or co-hosted a total of six concerts which included collaborative performances with a local symphony and youth choir and another with a fellow choral organization our annual joint holiday performance with all 3 ensembles Season of Celebration and Chromatic Convergence hosted an A Cappella showcase in the spring with 4 other a cappella groups. Our IMPACT program Igniting Musical Passion Among Children and Teens allows all students high-school age or younger to attend our RAP Produced concerts for free. The goal of this program is to educate our youth about choral music and to assure them that high-caliber performance opportunities exist outside of the education and faith systems.
- $2,000 spent. During the summer we host our Summer Conducting Lab program which provides conductors-in-training an opportunity to work with a choir in a rehearsal setting gaining valuable podium time and real-time feedback. During the sessions 3-5 conductors work with an all-volunteer choir composed of singers from the greater Silicon Valley area. Dr. Jeffrey Benson and Kristina Nakagawa provide feedback to the conductors both during the session and afterward in private communication.
- $10,000 spent. Each year we award scholarships for the California Choral Directors Association CCDA Coastal & Central Region and All-State Honor Choir to high school singers who pass the audition but would be unable to participate without financial assistance.
