Our Mission
The Contra Costa Chorale is a nonprofit organization open to singers of various ages, backgrounds, and musical experience. The Chorale is committed to a high level of performance. It promotes the timeless tradition of choral singing as a community builder, providing open access to a diversity of singers and audiences alike. We focus on vocal and choral techniques, help members develop their musical skills, and strive to build a sense of community within its membership and with its audiences. The Chorale’s repertoire includes sacred and secular music from the Renaissance through the 21st century encompassing a wide variety of styles both popular and traditional, with a strong emphasis on the performance of classical choral literature. We seek to bring this music to wide and diverse audiences in our original home community of Richmond and the other communities of West and Central Contra Costa County.
Our Vision
The Contra Costa Chorale will achieve the highest level of excellence in choral performance equal to or better than any non-auditioned community chorus in the San Francisco Bay Area.
