Mission

The City Choir of Washington is a member-driven choral community that is as committed to the music it performs as to the city it serves. It presents thoughtfully curated musical events throughout the Washington, DC metro area to uplift and inspire audiences and singers alike.

Vision

We seek to serve as a model organization where artistic excellence, strong community, and positive culture mutually reinforce each other. To this end, City Choir will develop techniques and pursue opportunities that enrich our performances, performers, and contributions to the community, while strengthening our core organization.

Values

At our best, the City Choir is a community that values:

• Excellence in artistry, administration, and community service

• A culture that is kind, positive, and welcoming

• Communication that is transparent, honest, and respectful

• A collaborative and service-oriented approach to leadership and artistry

• Inclusion of and esteem for diverse perspectives, multiple generations, and varied entry points of accessibility

• A space where singers and patrons alike can focus on the shared experience of music over external divisions, and where joy can be found in collaborative artistic expression, small accomplishments, and large triumphs
