Mission, Vision, and Values

MISSION

The Concord Chorale, an auditioned vocal ensemble, combines outstanding choral performances with a strong sense of community and camaraderie.

We present choral repertoire that is appealing, diverse and innovative, and that is relevant to us, to our community and to our time. We strive to be challenged as singers while aiming to inspire, entertain and educate our audiences. Our core audience is the greater Concord area.

The Chorale is deeply engaged in the greater Concord region as a visible, involved and respected arts organization that builds bridges with others who align with our vision and values. We reach out to the next generation of vocal musicians, as well as to people who have limited access to choral music.

VISION

The Concord Chorale envisions a community in which the transformational and connective power of choral music is valued, celebrated and accessible to all; our music is enjoyed by loyal enthusiasts or discovered anew, leaving a lasting impression on all; choral singers and collaborators find a musical home in which to create and grow; and everyone works together to build a culturally vibrant capital region.

VALUES

Community
We love singing together and we value collaboration, camaraderie, and a welcoming, fun and creative environment; we wish to make a meaningful, perhaps even transformative contribution to the cultural life of New Hampshire through our concerts, volunteer engagements and support of the choral arts.

Musicianship
We are musicians, committed to excellence and discipline in preparation and performance; as an ensemble, we strive to grow in our knowledge, appreciation, skill, and artistic sensitivity.

Respect
We represent the Concord Chorale, internally and publicly, with professionalism, care, and consideration for our fellow members, staff, and collaborators, our organization, our audience and supporters, and our music/composers.
