Goals of the Manchester Amateur Choral Competition
The Manchester Amateur Choral Competition (MACC) provides a forum whereby amateur choirs can come together in a spirit of friendship and respect to appreciate each other’s talents and make music together. It is less about the winning and more about the taking part.
The MACC will:
- Provide a safe and creative outlet for individual and collective musical ability
- Encourage and promote diversity through the various community choirs taking part and the music performed
- Provide a focus for community engagement in the arts within and without the region
- Promote the furtherance of individual and collective musical ability
- Highlight and nurture the talent that exists outside the professional musical world
- Encourage a professional approach to challenge and endeavour
- Highlight Manchester’s continuing energetic role in the encouragement of the arts and as a supporter of community initiatives
- Provide excellent publicity for both the music-making of amateur choirs but also for all those associated with the competition on the form of funders and sponsors
- Encourage and support cross-cultural networking
