PACIFIC CHORALE'S 2026 ANNUAL REPORT
The 2025-26 Season was a powerful reflection of Pacific Chorale’s ambition, creativity, and enduring commitment to choral excellence in Orange County. From unforgettable performances of The Sacred Veil and a season finale honoring John Alexander's legacy, to the expansion of Pacific Chorale Academy into a fourth school site, we are proud of the artistic milestones and educational impact we achieved this year.
Whether you attended a performance, shared our mission with others, or supported us through a gift, you played a vital role in making these accomplishments possible.
With your support behind us, Pacific Chorale is carrying that momentum toward our 60th Anniversary — and we can't wait for what's next.
Thank you for being part of our journey.
