ABOUT PERFORMERS WITH PURPOSE
Designed for youth ages 11-18, the Arlington Chorale's Performers With Purpose (PWP) use choral music to serve their community in unique ways. Each season, these young singers partner with local non-profit organizations to learn about the group's mission, engage in service projects, and use choral music to raise awareness for the organization.
In Season 2023/24, PWP will partner with the following organizations:
