Northwest Vocal Arts
It is my great pleasure to introduce Northwest Vocal Arts, a new non-profit choral organization committed to musical excellence and community outreach with a primary focus on youth mentorship.
At our core is a professional chamber choir made up of some of the region’s finest vocal musicians who are not only committed to achieving the highest caliber of choral performance, but who are also passionate about mentorship. We call on all of our singers to be models, contributing to the community through their artistry, ongoing mentorship of young singers, and the creation and delivery of outreach and education initiatives!
Driven by a collaborative spirit we endeavor to seek new and innovative ways to bring people together through artistry by removing barriers and creating accessible and enjoyable experiences for everyone. - Dr. Sam Barbara, Executive Artistic Director
