Postcard Carols
Since 2020, our Postcard Carol program has transformed heartfelt tributes into lasting musical legacies. What began as a creative fundraising initiative during the pandemic has blossomed into one of our most cherished holiday traditions. Through this unique program, donors commission personalized carols that celebrate their loved ones while supporting our musical community. Each carol receives its world premiere at our annual Feast of Carols concert, where these intimate dedications join the timeless canon of holiday music.
For a $2,500 donation, you can commission your own personalized carol from award-winning composer and MCP's Artistic Director Dominick DiOrio.
Your special piece includes:
- Custom carol composed by award-winning composer Dominick DiOrio
- Commemorative postcards with your dedication
- A recording by MCP artistic staff
- World premiere at A Feast of Carols in December 2025
Your contribution supports our singers and programming while creating a timeless musical tribute that perfectly blends traditional and contemporary carol-writing. For more information on commissioning your carol, contact Executive Director Flo Gardner.
Together, let's make music and memories that last a lifetime!
