SUPPORT VOICES OF CALIFORNIA
Once a 70+-member chorus (pre-COVID), Voices of California (“VoCal”) is currently rebuilding to return to its previous heights while continuing its proud Tradition of Excellence. A men’s a cappella chorus based in Sacramento, CA, and affiliated with the international Barbershop Harmony Society (“BHS”) as the California Delta Chapter, we are committed to offering the finest in choral entertainment.
OUR MISSION STATEMENT
“The mission of the California Delta Chapter is to achieve musical excellence in competition and entertaining performances of the highest caliber. Our vision of harmony includes singing a cappella music primarily in the barbershop style. It also reflects our commitment to inspiring musical excellence, ensuring each member's musical growth, and fostering singing in our communities.”
WHY DONATE
Voices of California (“VoCal”) has been in existence only since 2010 but is an internationally acclaimed a cappella chorus, having qualified for the Barbershop Harmony Society’s International Contest five times – making it among the top choruses of its type in the world. Based in Sacramento, it offers men of all ages (we have had members as young as six and as old as 92) the opportunity to join with other men who love to sing and enhance their singing and performing skills, and to become part of the most entertaining men’s choruses anywhere. But our mission doesn’t end with our performances. In this time of dwindling (even disappearing) school budgets for the arts, VoCal believes it has a responsibility to promote singing in our area and does so by providing the opportunity for other local singing groups of different musical genres to appear on our shows, and by providing significant support for high school singers in Northern California through financial and volunteer support for the area’s annual Harmony Camp retreat and sponsoring Youth Choruses whenever distance makes it feasible to represent Northern California at the international BHS Mid-Winter conventions.
But as with most artistic groups, ticket sales cover only a portion of our overall expenses. These include not only ongoing costs for our music and visual directors, music rights, rehearsal hall and venue costs, and other show production costs such as bringing in world-class guest performers to entertain you, but also travel costs to competitions both within and outside of California, engaging the best coaches in the Society to steadily improve our skills, and our community service efforts. That’s why support from music and theater lovers like you is so critical to our success. Your financial assistance will ensure that we continue to grow, thrive and bring the best a cappella entertainment to our community and wherever we perform.
