Support New Voices in Choral Music This Giving Tuesday

This Giving Tuesday, you can help sustain a Bay Area ensemble dedicated to championing living composers, premiering bold new works, and keeping concerts free and accessible to all. IOCSF is a volunteer-driven ensemble committed to artistic excellence, community engagement, and amplifying underrepresented voices in contemporary choral composition. Your support ensures new music continues to thrive in San Francisco.

Why Your Gift Matters

IOCSF’s work is built on a simple belief: the future of choral music is created when we invest in emerging and diverse composers. Your gift makes possible annual commissions and premieres of new works, free public concerts, collaborations with community organizations including Together Estranged, opportunities for emerging composers through the reimagined Freshly Squeezed program, and essential artist stipends, rehearsal space, and production support.
