Angeles Chorale DEI Statement

The Angeles Chorale is an organization that strives to be an inclusive representation
of greater Los Angeles and the communities and singers we serve. We believe in the
power of choral music to enrich lives, and as such are committed to providing a
welcoming environment for all individuals regardless of race, color, religion, age, sexual
orientation, gender identity, gender expression, national origin, disability, genetic
information, marital or parental status, amnesty, ethnicity, veteran status,
socioeconomic or educational status.

● We strive for diversity and inclusion among our audiences, singers, artists, staff,
and Board of Directors because we believe all people should have the
opportunity to access and engage in quality music programming. 

● We will continue to perform and celebrate music by composers from all cultures,
backgrounds and genders and will strive to highlight voices that have been
marginalized in the past, especially in the choral music community.

● We believe that cultural equity is critical, not only to the long-term viability of our
organization, but to the entire arts sector in Los Angeles. We believe our
organization will be stronger and more creative by ensuring that all voices have
an opportunity to be heard.
