With support from the California Arts Council, Tonality will be able to facilitate music workshops with the diverse student population at the Los Angeles High School for the Arts, focusing on BIPOC and LGBTQ youth and develop and premiere a concert together on the theme of education.
Tonality was established in 2016 to serve as a professional choral environment where racial and ethnic diversity would be represented both in the vocal performers and in the genres of music presented. In its second year, Tonality added an extra focus of presenting topics of social justice, particularly issues that affect the most marginalized within our community. Currently, Tonality is proving to be one of the most racially diverse professional choral ensembles in the country. Our commitment to present diverse composers and perspectives to issues of social justice increases every year. Furthermore, our endeavors to expand diversity extends to our Board of Directors, who also strive to maintain a strong sense of diversity in both racial and gender identities. Lastly, Tonality work’s to reflect diversity within the artists and composers is also reflected in the collective mission to serve a diverse audience. Tonality’s core programs include its seasonal concerts, Tonality Youth Scholars Choral Education Program, Systems change in classical music Speaker Series and increasing diverse voices in Music, Film, Tv Special Projects.
