ARTS DISTRICT CHORALE

ADC - SINGING OUR STORIES

When trained singers perform live, an extraordinary energy bridges the gap between performers and their audience. Hearts beat as one, emotions surge, and the room fills with a profound sense of connection. This transformative experience is at the core of the Arts District Chorale (ADC). Unlike other chorale groups, ADC has a unique bond with the Dallas Arts District, having evolved alongside it for over 30 years. Founded by Michie Akin, ADC isn’t just a choir—it’s a nonprofit dedicated to uniting people through the unmatched power of vocal music. Our deep roots and commitment to innovative performances set us apart, creating unforgettable experiences that resonate long after the final note is sung.

We are a dedicated volunteer ensemble of up to 50 auditioned singers, including professional performers, music educators, and classically trained vocalists. Our performances are rooted in the rich tradition of classical and sacred choral music, and we are honored to perform in some of Dallas’s most esteemed venues, including the Morton H. Meyerson Symphony Center and the Moody Performance Hall. While we occasionally explore other genres like the American Songbook and pop standards, our primary focus remains on delivering the timeless beauty of classical and sacred choral music, connecting deeply with our audiences through these powerful works. Your support helps us continue sharing this profound musical heritage.

The Arts District Chorale is also committed to nurturing the next generation of artists through our ADC Apprentice Program. This program provides economically disadvantaged children with private vocal instruction and mentorship, equipping them to successfully audition for the prestigious Booker T. Washington School for the Performing and Visual Arts. Our volunteers also dedicate their time to the ArtsVision Summer Camp, where they help students bring a musical production to life. Your generous donations ensure these vital programs continue to thrive, making a lasting impact on young lives.

While ADC members produce a professional sound, we rely on the love of music, not payment, to fuel our passion. In fact, our members pay dues to cover essential costs like music, venues, and our artistic director’s salary. However, to continue sharing our music with the community, we need the support of generous donors. 

Your financial contributions are vital to ensuring we can keep presenting our four seasonal concerts and maintaining the magnetic bond between our singers and audience. Your support will help us continue spreading the gift of song.

Please donate today and be part of ADC’s legacy to unleash the transformative energy of music.
