MADCO in Concert

Supporters of MADCO can contribute to our fundraising efforts by highlighting their favorite aspect of our programming, particularly our concert dance performances! Although the expenses associated with our dance concerts are significant, we aim to raise $2,000 on Give STL Day to cover these costs. Your contribution can make a difference!

Here is one concert that we are planning to produce in our 2024-2025 concert series.

“EVOLVE: Courage in Motion” is a dance concert born from a profound desire to commemorate the enduring legacy of a remarkable woman who dedicated her life to advocating for elementary school literacy programs, Sarah Ann Johnson (1962-2024). Through this performance, we seek to honor her memory and amplify her message of strength and resilience in the face of adversity. This concert serves as a testament to the transformative power of art in fostering empathy, understanding, and community engagement. The choreography will weave together themes of perseverance, hope, and the human spirit, offering a poignant reflection on the challenges and triumphs that define the human experience. Through this project, we aim to not only commemorate the life of our esteemed advocate but also to further our commitment to promoting literacy and education in elementary schools. By engaging with audiences through the universal language of dance, we hope to spark conversations and inspire action towards creating a more equitable and compassionate society. Your donation will support the production costs associated with staging the concert, including venue rental, artist fees, and technical expenses. Additionally, it will enable us to expand our outreach efforts, bringing the performance to underserved communities and partnering with local schools to facilitate discussions on themes of resilience, empathy, and social change.
