JOIN US IN RESTORING HARMONY & HOPE
On January 8 we lost our home base of operations when the Altadena Community Church was destroyed by fire. The Pasadena Chorale has rehearsed every week at this church and performed dozens of concerts here since our founding in 2009. Our partnership with the Altadena Community Church gave us space to grow from a single choir into an award-winning organization with three choirs and a student composers program. Today the Pasadena Chorale serves 160 singers and thousands of audience members every year, offering all our concerts and educational programs to the community at no cost.
Despite the loss of the Altadena Community Church, and personal losses and displacement experience by our members, we’re determined to keep bringing live choral music to the community. Finding new spaces for our activities will be costly, and we need your help. Please give generously!
“MY HEART BE BRAVE” PERFORMED BY THE PASADENA CHORALE
My heart be brave, and do not falter so,
Nor utter more that deep, despairing wail.
Thy way is very dark and drear I know,
But do not let thy strength and courage fail;
For certain as the raven-winged night
Is followed by the bright and blushing morn,
Thy coming morrow will be clear and bright;
’Tis darkest when the night is furthest worn.
Look up, and out, beyond, surrounding clouds,
And do not in thine own gross darkness grope,
Rise up, and casting off thy hind’ring shrouds,
Cling thou to this, and ever inspiring hope:
Tho’ thick the battle and tho’ fierce the fight,
There is [a] power [in] making for the right.
