Haydn's magnificent "Creation" is less than a week away...🌎✨

Hearing a major oratorio in Mission Santa Clara is different from listening at home. The building itself shapes the sound, letting the chorus bloom and the orchestra resonate in a way recordings cannot capture.

Announcing our last program of the season: Joseph Haydn's "The Creation" 🌎🌟

This classic piece tells the story of the world coming into being, moving from chaos to order, darkness to light, and silence to sound. It is one of the greatest of the choral works, and will be a delight to new listeners as well as seasoned concert-goers.

We'll be joined by the Santa Clara University Choirs and a full orchestra, along with several amazing soloists.

Please join us on May 16th at 7pm in the Mission Santa Clara for this spectacular conclusion to such a wonderful season of music!

STARDUST is less than a week away...🌟

This spectacular program features contemporary and classic works that trace the arc from quiet contemplation to radiant joy, all in one of the South Bay’s most resonant acoustic spaces---the Mission Santa Clara.

It's an evening for anyone who needs a little awe, a little stillness, and a reminder that we are all made of the same stardust. Bring a friend, a neighbor, or someone who could use a lift, and let the music carry you beyond the day-to-day for just one night! ✨

Friends and supporters, will you join us for our Annual Fund 2026-2027? 🎶

When we say “Choir is Community,” we aren't just talking about the singers and supporting musicians on stage. We are talking about you - our dedicated audience, our supporters, and the music lovers who fill the seats and share in the beauty of live performance.

We couldn't do what we do without you---last year, the incredible generosity of just 80 donors helped us raise an astounding $53,000. We are deeply grateful for this support, which allows us to keep bringing high-quality choral music to the Bay Area. This year, our goal is to grow our community of supporters with a target of $55,000 and a stretch goal of $60,000.

Reaching this milestone will provide the vital funding we need to continue working with our talented professional staff, performing in the historic and acoustically stunning venue of Mission Santa Clara, and bringing rich, full-orchestral collaborations to life for our community. Whether you give $10, $100, or $1,000, adding your name to our growing donor base makes a profound difference.

Tonight's the night! ✨

We are thrilled to invite you to join us this evening for the finale concert of our third annual Festival of Choirs – a celebration of fellowship, community, and the transformative power of music. This event brings together local adult community choruses for a day of singing, camaraderie, and shared joy—and we are proud to partner with the lovely folks at Sunnyvale’s The Music School for the third year in a row to bring this project to life!

All proceeds from this concert will benefit Second Harvest of Silicon Valley, supporting their vital work in addressing food insecurity in our community. Your attendance not only celebrates choral music but also contributes to an important cause.

This extraordinary concert will feature individual performances by each participating choir including the Chorale, showcasing the unique artistry and voices of our local choral community.

RESOUNDING ACHORD & Kristina Nakagawa

THE CHORAL PROJECT & Daniel Hughes

PARITER VOCAL ENSEMBLE & Albee Mabeza
