Our choir has a long history of lifting one another up as we strive for musical excellence. We want to honour this legacy, while continuing to grow and evolve as an organization. We offer all members a safe, welcoming, space where they can feel valued and have opportunities to develop genuine connections with one another. We also believe that it will deeply enrich our choir to diversify the voices included in the Aeolians, and welcome singers from all backgrounds who meet audition standards.

As an organization, the Aeolian Singers are committed to improving our knowledge and practices in the areas of accessibility, diversity, equity and inclusion. We commit to educating ourselves, and to reaching out to include the voices and perspectives of diverse groups, especially those who may not historically have been part of the choir. We will work to be actively anti-racist and anti-homophobic, and to remove barriers to full participation in the choir, including those based on financial issues and disability. We will continue to challenge and adapt our policies, practices, and use of language to accomplish these goals.

Additionally, there is powerful and exciting music from many different cultures and communities around the world. We will amplify these songs and stories by choosing diverse repertoire and engaging in meaningful collaborations with and learning from artists from a variety of cultural and linguistic backgrounds.
