With support from the California Arts Council, Choral Arts Initiative will champion the works of artists most marginalized in our communities to give them a platform to share their lived experiences in musically compelling and thought provoking ways. Doing so might inspire dialogue, challenge biases, or foster empathy among our community of listeners and singers–one song and one breath at a time.
Collaboration with Composers & Community: Working with community stakeholders such as K-12 school districts, churches, community centers, and other arts organizations to generate opportunities for young people to create using music as a catalyst. With a focus on Orange County community, we have still welcomed schools from as far north as Seattle, WA and as far east as Orlando, FL.
Creating Opportunities: We know that the first barrier for recent college graduate students in music/composition is initial opportunity. We spend extensive time and resources discovering and identifying these individuals to provide opportunity through workshops, professional development, commissions, or premieres.
Live Performances: This is where our audience can see and hear our Mission come to life–bringing world-class performances of new music created by a diverse spectrum of living composers who are craving opportunity.
