Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion
The San Francisco Girls Chorus is deeply committed to implementing true diversity and belonging in all aspects of its undertakings, through its hiring practices at the executive and staff levels, its engagement with choristers, families, and alums, its artist-in-residence programs, its commissions to composers, its scholarship outreach, and by expanding its exemplary pedagogy into underserved communities. SFGC recognizes that social and racial injustices are entrenched in the history of our nation and that we cannot fully embrace inclusion without acknowledging these injustices perpetrated against marginalized peoples. We also recognize this history has left its toxic imprint on many of our legal, social, and creative institutions, including the performing arts. SFGC, fully aware of this and other patterns and practices of discrimination present in our society, aspires to lead with a lens towards justice and inclusion. We embrace the unique and important role that the performing arts and musical education can have in promoting healing, enlightenment, and unity in our own diverse community and the world.
