About Pacific Youth Choir
For more than twenty years, Pacific Youth Choir has remained true to its core values and artistic goals: to connect every singer in our choirs to an enhanced experience of life through music—touching choristers’ lives in positive ways that they take back to the community.
The atmosphere is collaborative, joyful, and disciplined. Developmentally appropriate musical and choral challenges keep pace with the singers as their skills mature throughout each choir year.
Serving hundreds of students aged 5-19 representing many Portland metro area schools, Pacific Youth Choir is widely acclaimed as one of the finest choral programs on the west coast.
Mission
Pacific Youth Choir changes lives through high level choral artistry in an open, joyful, and nurturing environment. Through practice, performance, and education, singers build their skills and emerge as confident young adults with the foundation in place for a lifelong love of music.
Vision
Be the benchmark for choral excellence for young people in the Pacific Northwest. Beyond the field of choral music, we aspire to shape our community by fostering lifelong skills, unity, and empathy in young people. We aim to create a world where choral music is a catalyst for connection and positive change.
