SPECIAL FUNDS
If you prefer, you may also support specific Encompass programs. Please select from the following initiatives below:
THEORY OF EVERYTHING
Your gift to The Theory of Everything Fund helps support the world premiere of composer John David Earnest and Nancy Rhodes’ new music drama tracing the journey of a Brazilian quantum physicist and his family, as dramatic events catapult a metaphysical and scientific search into other dimensions and alternate universes. The opera traces the journey of a Brazilian quantum physicist who is studying fundamental connections between science and the ancient wisdom of the Q'ero Tribe in Peru.
EDMONIA
EDMONIA, by composer Bill Banfield, is based on the true story of Edmonia Lewis, a Black and Native American (Ojibwa) artist who attains an international reputation as a sculptor; and yet her life was tragically forgotten, until her most famous piece, the Death of Cleopatra (1875) is discovered, lost in a Chicago public park. Driving the narrative, is the question... what happens or what do we miss, if we don’t discover our rich cultural heritage?
ENCOMPASS ANNUAL FUND
Your donations will significantly support our adventurous music theatre productions, as well as our concerts and galas, which provide opportunities for new composers, singers, and musicians. Your gift to our annual fund helps Encompass present educational and outreach programs such as Music for Peace, Angel of the Amazon, and Paradigm Shifts: Music and Film Festival. Honoring courageous people around the world who are preserving our Planet. As a not-for-profit arts organization, your support has never been more vital in sustaining our organization.
ANGEL OF THE AMAZON
Following the successful Encompass performances in November 2022 of ANGEL OF THE AMAZON, we are now planning a tour to high schools, colleges, and university arts centers of this compelling true story of Sister Dorothy Stang (1931-2005). Sister Dorothy courageously devoted her life to helping indigenous families of Brazil gain land rights and to protecting the Rainforest. ANGEL OF THE AMAZON is a centerpiece of the Encompass Paradigm Shifts Festival, dedicated to bridging indigenous cultures, women’s wisdom, and the environmental-social justice issues that explore our place in the universe.
Please help our mission of bringing vital awareness of the importance of preserving our Planet, oceans, wildlife, forests, and sacred lands to students in the 5 boroughs and across the country.
