GRANT PROJECTS FOR

THE 2024-2025 SEASON

At its spring 2024 meeting, the Foundation Board awarded two grants for activities planned for the 2024-25 arts season. Visit the websites of the two presenting organizations to learn more about the projects and how to purchase tickets to performances.

Bach Society of Dayton
In an effort to reach out to citizens in the northern Miami Valley communities, and to share one of Dayton’s premier arts organizations, the Bach Society will use its $30,000 grant to underwrite expenses associated with a concert at the Arbogast Performing Arts Center in Troy, Ohio.

The April 2025 concert will present Handel’s Messiah with orchestra, organ, soloists and the full Bach Society Chorus. Davie Crean, Music Director, will conduct the concert.

Dayton Contemporary Dance Company
The Dayton Contemporary Dance Company’s 2025 spring concert will offer an opportunity for audience members to enjoy new dance pieces commissioned for the Company and created by several award-winning choreographers. This experience, entitled New Choreography for New Generations, offers an unusual happening in the dance world as multiple pieces designed specifically for DCDC will appear on one program.

Considered for this exciting program are artists who have established rich dance legacies from Hip-hop culture and history, Black theatrical life, contemporary dance storytelling, and form and function of Black dance towards abstraction.

The Miriam Rosenthal Foundation’s $50,000 grant will help underwrite choreography and production fees for this spring program.
