Mission and Goal. The Chorale’s mission and goal is to present programs of high-quality vocal music for public entertainment and personal enrichment, while promoting greater knowledge and appreciation for both classical and modern music among residents of Northern Virginia. This overall enrichment supports Fairfax County’s goal of increasing cultural awareness through the performing arts. Additionally, it is a natural outgrowth of the Chorale’s core values that good music performed well brings joy to both performer and listener, and well-presented performances enhance appreciation of the arts in the local community.
