             " Creating Artistry One Voice At A Time" 


With the looming budget crisis for education in our district fast approaching, please take a moment to
communicate with District Administration to let them know how you feel about the Music and Performing Arts
programs at Acalanes. Your input and support will be vital in lessening the cuts that are neccessary to
keep our district viable.
              

Looking Ahead

  Music by 2007-2008  Chamber Singers at 2008 Golden State Competition
    Welcome to the Acalanes Choral Music Site
                          
Golden State          2009
From Ian MacEwan's Book: Saturday
There are these rare moments when musicians together touch something sweeter than they've ever found before in
rehearsals or performance, beyond the merely collaborative or technically proficient, when their expression becomes as easy and graceful as friendship or love. This is when they give us a glimplse of what we might be, of our best selves and of an impossible world in which you give everything you have to others, but lose nothing of your self. Out in the real world there exist detailed plans, visionary projects for peaceful realms, all conflicts resolved, happiness for everyone, for ever---mirages for which people are prepared to die and kill. . . But only in music, and only on rare occasions, does the curtain actually lift on this dream of community, and it's tantalizingly conjured, before fading away with the last notes.
