As we wrap up our vibrant 2024–25 season, we’ve been hard at work preparing for what’s ahead: a bold and immersive 2025–26 season that deepens our commitment to Southeast Asian choral traditions.

This coming season, we will present two concerts—one centered on ancestral stories and childhood memories, and the other a celebration of dance, rhythm, and communal joy. We’ll continue drawing from the diverse musical worlds of Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, the Philippines, and beyond—bringing to life the full-body, floor-sitting, barefoot vocal traditions that define our practice.

We’re also thrilled to share two exciting additions to organization: the hiring of a choir manager, and the launch of a new conducting internship program.

To bring these exciting plans to life, we’re launching

This new phase of growth opens up even more opportunities for Suara to deepen our outreach and artistic work. For our 2025–26 season, we are looking to raise $35,000 to support this next chapter!

Our upcoming season will feature:

  • A Fall 2025 concert exploring Southeast Asian myth, ritual, and the unseen

  • A Spring 2026 concert celebrating dance and rhythm

  • Collaborative performances with two Los Angeles arts organizations

  • A world premiere of a new Southeast Asian choral work

  • Guest instrumentalists specializing in Southeast Asian traditional instruments

  • A collaborative pianist for rehearsals and performances

  • The launch of a new conducting internship program in collaboration with the USC Thornton School of Music

  • The hiring of our first-ever choir manager
