The purpose of the Trust is to advocate for the choral art by providing funding for the mentorship of choral conductors that will enhance their musical understanding and artistry in conducting. Conductors can often feet isolated and it was felt that the Trust could be instrumental in providing funding for communities of conductors from all types of choral interests. Allen could continue to have a positive impact on choral music through the Endowment Trust. This is appropriate for someone who has modeled for us what it is to be a life-long learner and mentor. It is in that spirit that we seek to establish a means for continuing his important contribution to the choral art.
