A Board-Approved Strategic Plan Beginning Now Through 2028
Pacific Chorale, a GRAMMY® Award-winning ensemble and one of the nation’s premier professional choruses, is embarking on a strategic transformation to secure our future and deepen our impact across Orange County. For nearly 60 years, Pacific Chorale has enriched our community through world-class music, nurturing young talent, and promoting diverse cultural expression.
As we approach our 60th Anniversary Season, we’re stepping forward with renewed clarity — anchored by a refreshed Mission, Vision, and Pillars that will guide our work in the years ahead.
MISSION
Pacific Chorale uplifts the human spirit through exceptional choral artistry, fosters unity across the Southern California community, and cultivates learning through artistic expression at every stage of life.
VISION
Pacific Chorale seeks to create a lasting resonance across generations — establishing itself as a defining voice in the choral world, where singers, audiences, and supporters experience the transformative power of choral music.
CORE VALUES
These values shape how we create, how we lead, and how we show up for our singers, audiences, students, and partners.
Pacific Chorale embodies the highest standards of musical excellence, presenting performances that inspire, challenge, and connect. Through a balance of timeless masterworks and bold new creations, we celebrate the choral tradition as both an enduring and evolving art form. Our commitment to innovation, collaboration, and expressive storytelling ensures that choral music continues to reflect and elevate the human experience.
Education and discovery are central to Pacific Chorale’s mission. We create pathways for people of all ages to experience the joy and discipline of choral music -- whether in classrooms, in rehearsal halls, or on community stages. Our programs cultivate creativity, confidence, and a sense of belonging, empowering participants to find their voice and contribute to a vibrant future.
Pacific Chorale believes in the power of shared music to strengthen communities. We build bridges between artists and audiences, fostering inclusivity, accessibility, and dialogue through song. By engaging with the diverse cultural landscape of our region, we create spaces where art and humanity meet -- where every voice can resonate and every person can feel part of something larger than themselves.
Strategic Plan goals (beginning now through 2028)
The Strategic Plan provides a clear framework for Pacific Chorale’s next era — strengthening artistic excellence, expanding learning and engagement, and deepening community connection through choral music.
Three areas of focus and key goals emerge from this vision:
- Advance exceptional artistry through ambitious performance experiences, collaboration, and innovation
- Expand learning and engagement so more people can access choral music and artistic growth at every stage of life
- Deepen community connectivity by strengthening belonging, visibility, and meaningful partnerships across our region
Foundational support: the PC@60 Sustainability Plan
To support the Strategic Plan, Pacific Chorale is implementing the PC@60 Sustainability Plan as foundational support — a comprehensive approach to strengthen long-term financial stability and modernize operations while sustaining and growing our artistic and educational work.
A key component of the Sustainability Plan is a goal of $1.2 million in special philanthropic support over three years to provide strategic growth funding while revenue strategies and operational improvements take full effect.
