Angel City Chorale (ACC) unites diverse communities through music. In 1993, Los Angeles voice teacher and musician Sue Fink brought together 18 voice students at McCabe’s Guitar Shop to form a choir committed to diversity and inclusion in race, age, gender, ethnicity, LGBTQ, socio-economic level, geography, disability and music. Today, ACC enriches the lives of more than 180 adult singers, 45 child singers, 60,000 audience members and 1,000 low-income seniors and children with diverse, joyful, exuberant musical experiences.

ACC became a 501c3 nonprofit in 2006 and performs two formal concerts a year in Los Angeles, smaller concerts at private events, and community performances, for example singing the Star-Spangled Banner at a Football Game. ACC is known globally and has a substantial social media following, mostly through four performances on NBC’s America’s Got Talent, after advancing to the semi-finals and receiving the coveted Golden Buzzer.

Currently 225 choir members perform gospel, POP, African, folk, arias, world, rap and traditional music at venues and events throughout Los Angeles. 180 adults sing in the adult choir, and 45 children ages 8-15 sing in Angel City Youth Chorale, ACC’s children’s choir. ACC collaborates with other nonprofits, countries, sports teams, Boys & Girls Clubs, schools, business organizations and others to include and unite all people of all cultures through music. ACC is known globally and has a substantial social media following, mostly through four performances on NBC’s America’s Got Talent, after advancing to the semi-finals and receiving the coveted Golden Buzzer (performance included in artistic samples). During COVID, ACC performed two “virtual” concerts that were free to the audience and included a pre-and post-information sessions with Creative Director & ACC Founder Sue Fink. Both concerts were attended by more than 10,000 people and included performances by the adult, child and combined choirs.
