Cultivating a love for music in all students, the Department of Music offers a diverse range of performance ensemble experiences.

Villa Musica’s year-round Community Chorus is open to all members of the public who have a song in their hearts. The Chorus meets once a week to sing material drawn from musical genres such as classical, folk, jazz and Broadway.

The Village Community Chorale aspires to enhance the cultural and spiritual life of The Village Church and surrounding communities by presenting engaging musical programs at a high artistic level. The Chorale aims to offer meaningful and exciting musical experiences for both singers and audiences through a commitment to musical excellence as we build on and contribute to the rich heritage of sacred music.

A choir created to change perception of homelessness through the healing power of music

Wholehearted was founded in 2014 by Lisa Littlebird and we now have more than 230 singers in two chapters, San Diego and Carmel, CA.

Singers of all ages and experience are wholeheartedly welcome in this chorus, and there is no audition.  We do not use sheet music, instead learning the songs by heart through repetition, with the support of lyric sheets, practice tracks, and one another.

The songs we sing are sacred technologies of the heart and they become allies for life. They are designed to uplift, heal, and nurture our sense of belonging.

At Congregation Beth Israel music is an integral part of the worship experience, deeply enhancing the connection to prayer. We value the profound emotional and spiritual resonance that music brings to services. Through music, we find a powerful means to express devotion, reflect on sacred texts, and connect more deeply with our faith. We have many opportunities for congregants to connect through music, including choir and band.
