Performance Excellence
We commit to delivering our best every time we sing, embracing personal responsibility and consistent practice, both in chorus and small group settings. We actively seek feedback and support one another in refining our skills and developing our artistry. Through continuous improvement and shared commitment, we honor the high standard of excellence we strive to achieve.
Authenticity and Joy
We foster a welcoming environment where authenticity and joy shine through our music. Together, we create spaces for true self-expression and meaningful connections, whether with our fellow members, our audiences, or the broader arts community. We believe that our unique art form has the power to inspire and connect, and we cherish the bonds it forges.
Inclusivity and Community Impact
We actively welcome diverse voices, viewpoints, and experiences. Through our performances, we strive to reflect the richness of our community and its stories. We believe in the power of music to bring people together, and we seek to make harmony accessible by engaging with underrepresented communities, inspiring unity, and contributing to our local arts community.
Investing in Culture
We create a supportive and dynamic culture by engaging in a cycle of growth, collaboration, and trust. We commit to one another’s success, consistently listening, contributing, and respecting each member’s unique journey. We are stewards of our collective resources, valuing and responsibly building upon the contributions of time, talent, and investment that make our work possible.
Education and Musical Enrichment
We are dedicated to advancing the art of a cappella singing. We deepen our own understanding and eagerly share that knowledge with our community, revealing the intricacies of our music and inviting others to experience its depth and joy. Through workshops, performances, and outreach, we aim to cultivate an ever-growing appreciation for harmony and musical excellence.
