Who We Are

Mission

Vivace empowers young singers to discover their spirit of creativity, compassion, and collaboration through the beauty of song.

vivace’s core Values are:

• Commitment to musical excellence

• Care for all members of the Vivace family

• Creation of a joyful place of belonging

• Celebration, connection, and collaboration with our diverse community

Theory of change

We believe that we are closing a critical educational gap by providing the youth of the greater San Jose area a much-needed inclusive and engaging musical experience; they become our future ambassadors for the arts.

equity & inclusion

Vivace Youth Chorus of San José is committed to practices of equity and inclusion in our work with all individuals we come into contact with, including our current singers and families, our staff, our alumni, and our surrounding community. The San José area, and the expanse of Silicon Valley, is rich with diversity. It is our greatest desire to embody this diversity by providing access to our programs to every student and family we interact with, regardless of their economic status or racial, cultural, religious, or sexual identity. Together, we strive to promote systemic change through the unifying power of music and to spark the light of song in all people.
