Mission
The Peninsula Women’s Chorus (PWC) inspires and enriches its singers and audiences through the creation and performance of diverse and adventurous music.
Vision
The Peninsula Women’s Chorus envisions a future as a vibrant choral community where singers of different backgrounds collaborate to create transcendent musical experiences.
Values
ARTISTIC EXCELLENCE
We are dedicated to performing a broad spectrum of music in its original language, sung from memory, at the highest level of artistic excellence. The pieces we sing are challenging — musically, linguistically, and sometimes emotionally. We promote the growth of choral music for treble voices by commissioning new and adventurous works.
INCLUSIVE COMMUNITY
We are an open and affirming chorus composed of singers of many professions, ages, cultures, and life experiences, and we foster a deeply felt sense of community and personal fulfillment. Through our investment of time, focus, and energy, we create beauty, intellectual stimulation, and social connection. We enrich the greater community through our performances and outreach programs.
Who We Are: Our Unique Value Proposition
Voices of Community
PWC is a nurturing and supportive space for soprano and alto voices of various ages, backgrounds and passions. Members can flourish in an inclusive community fostered when we come together to sing and strive for excellence in the choral arts.
- Voices of Growth
Through individual work, mentorship and integrity, we bring our fullest selves in artistic expression and community commitment to model all that a group of people can do and be together through music. We actively strive to expand our impact by seeking out new members, nurturing composers, and training conductors.
- Voices of Unity
Through the universal language of music, we unite to raise our voices in harmony, creating joy, beauty, and exploring shared humanity that enriches, rejuvenates, and inspires the members and our audience and extends into families, workplaces and communities.
