Sacramento Women’s Chorus is a mission-driven non-profit organization, and an important part of the Sacramento arts community, that presents music in support of women and women’s issues. Sacramento Women's Chorus gives back to the community through song and service. Our self produced concerts not only provide entertainment but also generates money that supports our community outreach endeavors. Our small, a cappella ensemble, Inner Harmony, serve as ambassadors of the larger chorus, performing in multiple venues throughout the year.
Sacramento Women’s Chorus builds community through our love of music, dedication to musical excellence and commitment to performing music which reflects the lives of women. We honor peace, justice, equality, and celebrate the lives of women through music with a message. We Love to Sing!
Our strength comes from our members and their talents and our work in the community. We are an inclusive organization that welcomes adult women of all ethnicities, cultures, sexual orientations, physical abilities, and in all stages of life, who sing in the treble range.
Our mission is to advocate for and support women with musical performances and through other community activities.
Our purpose is to strengthen community through music and community action.
Our vision is to become a musical performance and advocacy organization that positively impacts women’s lives.
• We believe all women should be safe in their relationships and free from harm or abuse.
• We believe in gender equity and social justice for women.
• We believe in supporting women’s educational goals.
• We believe in supporting local food distribution centers and homeless shelters with our gifts of warm clothing and personal hygiene kits.
• We believe our musical performances uplift women and further our purpose in the community.
• We believe that lifelong friendships are developed among the women in the chorus that forever enrich our lives.
Sacramento Women's Chorus relies on our community members to help us achieve our mission. In order to continue building community through song, we are looking to raise money for the following things:
1. Secure enough funds to provide scholarships annually to female identifying high school seniors who have participated in the arts so that we can invest in future generations to help them pursue their artistic passions.
2. Raise funds for our travel/festival fund to allow members to attend various choral festivals around the country.
3. Raise seed money to produce our 40th Anniversary concert season in 2027.
Sacramento Women's Chorus (SWC) is proud to be a vital part of the Sacramento arts community. Our strength comes from our members and their talents. We are an inclusive chorus that welcomes all adults who sing in the soprano/alto (treble) range, including but not limited to women, gender expansive, nonbinary, and transgender individuals of all ethnicities, cultures, physical abilities, and stages of life.
SWC attracts a diverse community by combining compelling social issues with inspiring and entertaining performances. The singers of the SWC are kindred souls singing in a warm, safe, and inviting environment.
