Our Mission is to provide quality music instruction with the goal of attaining the highest level of artistic excellence in choral music performance.
Pacifica offers a music performance and education program for children and youth, emphasizing the development of musical skills and understanding. The choir endeavors to enrich the lives of children from all religious, racial, cultural and economic backgrounds.
Pacifica has three primary objectives:
- To foster the personal and social growth of choir members and promote their sense of self-esteem, accomplishment and pride
- To enhance the overall music education experience by providing an organization which emphasizes quality music instruction
- To attain the highest level of excellence in choral music performance
The program consists of four separate levels: the Children’s Chorus, the Treble Choir, the Ensemble and Chamber Singers.
All levels are treble choirs except the Chamber Singers, which is a soprano, alto, tenor, bass choir, offering boys with changed voices the opportunity to continue singing and learning in the Pacifica environment.
Each level is dedicated to excellence of musicianship by developing the skills available at different levels of the child’s musical learning experience. The Chamber Singers include those students who have demonstrated a high degree of vocal and musicianship ability, along with a love of singing.
All performing levels emphasize note reading, vocal training and performance skills and meet once per week.
Pacifica Choirs rehearse at the Maple Leaf Lutheran Church in northeast Seattle’s Maple Leaf neighborhood.
