About Musica Vitale
Established as a cornerstone of Coronado’s cultural landscape, Musica Vitale has made significant contributions to the music scene over the past two decades. The organization has conducted performances in various locations, including San Diego, Los Angeles, and Mexico, but Coronado remains its home base.
Musica Vitale collaborates with both local and international talent, presenting a diverse range of music that includes works from composers across multiple countries such as Ukraine, Germany, Armenia, Brazil, Mexico, and the USA. This cultural exchange enriches the artistic offerings available to the community.
Community Support and Funding
This year, Musica Vitale faces challenges as city grant funding has been reduced by half, making community support more crucial than ever. The organization relies on city grants and generous donations to continue providing its exemplary musical programs throughout the area.
Crown City Chorale Involvement
Under the Musica Vitale umbrella, the Crown City Chorale (CCC) contributes to the organization’s mission, welcoming all individuals wishing to participate in singing, with no auditions required. CCC will conduct in-person sign-ups on August 27 from 6:00 to 7:00 p.m. at the Lutheran Church, located at 1111 5th Street. Online sign-up options will also be available for convenience.
The fall CCC session starts on September 10, with rehearsals scheduled every Wednesday from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. Participation in each session requires a fee of $100, although scholarships are available for qualified recipients.
Concerts and Upcoming Events
Throughout the year, Musica Vitale and the Crown City Chorale present approximately ten concerts to enthusiastic audiences. These performances are vital in expanding the musical experience available to the community.
Looking ahead, Musica Vitale has scheduled several community events in the coming months, including programs for Veterans’ Day, the Flower Show, and a Christmas celebration. Funding from the upcoming fundraiser and community support will be essential for executing these events successfully.
As Musica Vitale marks its 20 years of enriching the cultural scene in Coronado, this fundraising event serves as an important reminder of the role that arts play in community building and the necessity of support to sustain artistic endeavors. Attendees can look forward to an evening filled with music, camaraderie, and a shared commitment to fostering the arts in Coronado.
