Kairos Music Academy is an afterschool choral program founded in 1990 with the mission of inspiring empathy and a sense of collective humanity through the art of choral music at a formative time in children’s development. Rooted in the belief that music brings people together, Kairos nurtures responsibility, compassion, and community through vocal excellence and expressive artistry. Now in its thirty-fifth season, Kairos continues to be a vital part of the Bay Area’s cultural landscape, with members from diverse cultural, ethnic, and economic backgrounds who come together to build lifelong friendships through music. The choir emphasizes vocal development and music theory within an educational approach that fosters leadership, sensitivity, independence, and self-discipline. Many alumni describe Kairos as one of the most meaningful influences in their lives.

Over the decades, Kairos has performed at premier civic and cultural venues including the Berkeley Repertory Theatre, the Berkeley Opera, and The Hard Nut with the Mark Morris Dance Group. In recent years, the choir has collaborated with the California Bach Society on its award-winning St. Matthew Passion, and has been regularly selected for the Junior Bach Festival, as well as Oakland A's National Anthem performances. Internationally, Kairos singers have represented California in Denmark, Norway, Italy, Austria, the Czech Republic, and Greece—where they earned double bronze medals at the Festival of Preveza in 2023. In 2010, Kairos was honored by the California State Senate for two decades of exceptional community service in the arts, and in 2014, formally became a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. 

Kairos offers need-based scholarships, and no one is turned away for lack of funds. 

We hope to see you in August!
