Here's what we need: Partners like you who believe that talent and passion – not zip code – should determine who gets to sing in an excellent choir.

Your gift directly funds:

  • High-quality instruction from nationally recognized conductors

  • Prestigious performance opportunities (Oregon Symphony, Pink Martini)

  • Transformative experiences that build confidence and cultural literacy

  • A community where every voice belongs
