Mission
Choral Arts Northwest’s mission is to inspire, educate, and enrich our community through the transformational power of choral music. We seek to foster a world that is just and empathetic and that values creativity and diversity. We commit to actively engage with members of our community who have been historically marginalized, and use our platform to intentionally support important social causes and highlight the music of diverse groups as well as that of composers who identify as BIPOC, female, or LGBTQIA+. We dedicate ourselves to ongoing learning and listening, and to invite others to join us on that journey through programming, engagement, and collaborations.
