Dear TCP Friends,

As Board Chair of The Choral Project, I have the privilege of witnessing not only the artistry you hear on stage, but also the vision, dedication, and care that bring each performance to life.

With our 29th season nearly complete, I am in awe of what a journey it has been. From the warmth and brilliance of Winter’s Gifts: COMFORT & JOY in December, to the creativity and depth of Art of Sound: HUGHES & THE MUSE, this season has affirmed the power of choral music to move, connect, and inspire.

As we look ahead to our season finale, Earthsongs: FREEDOM & HOPE, on Sunday, June 28th, I am reminded of the feeling we had as a school year came to an end. It is bittersweet, introspective, and thrilling all at once. That same sense of reflection and possibility lives within this program. It captures the stirring emotion of youth, the feeling that anything is possible and that the future feels wide open and bright. In that spirit, the final concert of this extraordinary season celebrates a world where diversity, equity, and inclusion speak through music. We are especially proud to present the first-place winning composition from our 2025–26 Rachel Moore Choral Composition Contest, a program that amplifies the voices of emerging composers honing their craft and helps ensure the future of choral music is vibrant.

Your support makes it possible for The Choral Project to do more than perform. It allows us to invest in the next generation of composers, to create opportunities for new work, and to bring meaningful, thought-provoking programs to our community.

As we prepare for Earthsongs, I invite you to make a gift in support of The Choral Project. Your contribution directly sustains programs like the Rachel Moore Choral Composition Contest and helps ensure that bold, new artistic voices continue to be heard.
