One of the founding principles of The LOTUS Project of Trenton, Inc. is to bring transformational musical experiences to the community regardless of economic capacity. Our concert ticketing remains an at-will donation model.

Similarly, our LOTUS Chorale membership dues and score fees are prepared in careful consultation with our mission, members of various backgrounds, and other simliar organizations in the region. Further, It is worth noting that there is no required threshold of concert ticket sales nor fundraising initiatives in order to participate in LOTUS Chorale.

Our membership dues and score fees average to about $8-$10 a rehearsal.

Membership dues contribute to our ability to:

  • Pay staff
  • Secure venues
  • Pay orchestra musicians and professional soloists
  • Maintain our Artist-In-Residence program

The score fee allows the Chorale to provide scores and rehearsal tracks for members and is prepared based on the anticipated cost of scores for each concert cycle. 

Members can add a donation to their registration form to help support our ability to offer financial assistance to college students and those with limited means.*
