This Is What Your Gift Sounds Like
Every gift to Pacific Chorale's education programs opens a door for a student who might not otherwise have one — a first experience with live music, a summer of intensive training, or years of hands-on instruction in their own classroom.
Why This Matters
Music has the power to change a student's life — building confidence, discipline, and a lifelong love of the arts. But access to quality music education is disappearing from many schools, especially in underserved communities where arts funding is often the first thing cut.
Pacific Chorale believes every young person deserves the chance to discover their voice, regardless of their background or their school's budget — through three complementary programs that bring choral music directly to students: in their classrooms, on our summer stages, and at our concerts.
Your gift doesn't fund a program in the abstract — it funds a specific student's first solo, first ensemble, first time realizing they have something worth sharing.
Where Your Gift Goes
Pacific Chorale Academy
For a classroom with no music program, Academy brings a teaching artist straight to elementary schools in underserved communities, often giving a child their first experience making music with others.
Your gift funds a semester of classroom instruction for a student who would otherwise go without one.
Choral Camp
Picture a talented teenager who's never been pushed like this before — a week of professional coaching that changes how they see themselves as a musician.
“I leave Camp a better musician every single year.”
— Tae Wu, Choral Camp alum
Your gift covers tuition so a student attends regardless of what their family can afford.
Intro to the Arts
Do you recall the wonder and awe of hearing a live professional choir for the first time? Since 1986, well over 10,000 have. Passage to the Arts extends that same free access to local social service clients and volunteers.
Your gift covers the ticket so a student experiences a live performance firsthand.
