Vivace is very excited to participate in the Rose, White & Blue Festival this July 4th! Intermediate, Concert and Chamber choirs will be performing at 1:50 pm on the steps of Westminster Presbyterian Church. We'll also have a Vivace Youth Chorus booth as part of the street fair! So come on down to The Alameda and celebrate the 4th with Vivace! You can check out all the fun details about this festive event HERE.

We are thrilled to present Vivace Youth Chorus' final virtual project of the season, The Gift to Sing. This very special concert is our gift to the community and will be completely free to view on our Vivace YouTube channel. We are also delighted to be presenting a brand new composition gifted exclusively to Vivace Youth Chorus to perform from San José based composer and conductor Daniel Hughes. We're incredibly grateful to all our singers and staff who persevered through modified schedules, rehearsals, and methods of performance and for the families and friends that supported us with dedication and commitment to our mission. This concert will be our gift of song, and we truly hope you enjoy it!

In acknowledgement of the many challenges that families are facing this year, Vivace is only charging $10 per ticket link. Generally, only one link is needed per household.

Concert ticket sales account for approximately $15,000 of Vivace’s budget. In 2020, Vivace has collected no ticket revenue apart from the modest $10 per household for this concert. Instead, we’ve asked for donations to help us cover the difference. For this concert, donations can be given in honor of our retiring artistic director and founder, Peggy Spool.

Leonard Bernstein’s MASS tells the story of a community experiencing a crisis of faith. The MASS seeks answers to what happens when our systems fail us, from our religious institutions, to our leaders in government, to our belief in ourselves.  Equal parts rock concert, story-telling theater, and modern symphony, the MASS creates an experience that defies categorization.   

The SJSU School of Music and Dance production brings together over two hundred musicians and dancers to ask these questions, presenting a unique and extraordinary production at the Hammer Theater. 

Join Vivace at Alum Rock Library for a free performance by our Preparatory and Intermediate Choirs. With Masumi Maei, Director of Preparatory Choir, and Jay Jordana, Director of Intermediate Choir.
