Choir Management of Sanggar Vox Angelica Manado

Abstract

This research aims to provide a description of performance management at Sanggar Vox Angelica Manado. Through the use of qualitative research method, the data was analyzed descriptively by using observation, interview, and documentation study techniques. The research was conducted at Sanggar Paduan Vox Angelica Manado located at GMIM Sion Teling Church, Manado City, North Sulawesi Province, during a 4-month period in 2020. The results showed that the production team consisting of the production leader and the person in charge of areas such as administration, finance, training, and equipment played an important role in the success of Sanggar Paduan Vox Angelica Manado in achieving the title of “gold champion” at The 1st Bali International Choir Festival. Supporting factors, such as the composition of experienced singers, the right song selection, the utilization of equipment inventory, and the persuasive attitude of the organizers, contributed to the success. However, there were some inhibiting factors such as lack of time discipline, poor financial condition, short rehearsal duration, and limited facilities and infrastructure of Sanggar Seni Vox Angelica Manado. Thus, the results of this study are expected to make theoretical and practical contributions to the development of choir management studies, not only for researchers and the organizations studied, but also for the development of choir management studies in general.
