Cascadia Folk choir is an all-inclusive, beginner-friendly adult community choir & musical practice space inspired by the community singing (song circle) tradition.
MISSION
A space for making musical magic and letting the magic of music make us.
VISION
A world where all humans are attuned to the music of all life.
VALUES
🎼 Mapping Musicianship
Skill-Building: developing vocal ability and confidence through a beginner-friendly framework of listening, breathing, moving, sounding, and singing
Craftsmanship: honing one song per rehearsal with a focus on developing musical capacities like intonation & dynamics
🌱 Cultivating Community
Accessibility: breaking down barriers to traditional choral spaces including cost, experience, commitment, identity, & ability
Connection: making space for authentic togetherness centered around music & Earth-oriented values
❤️🩹 Tending the Times
Being with what is: practicing "emergent folk" repertoire - songs that are in direct response to and relationship with the current state of the world
Practicing musical animist postactivism: allowing ourselves & the space to be vessels for the magic of the mus(e)ic, knowing that this music-being (an ancient life-giver and primordial ally) has autonomy & the power to transform & catalyze change
