OUR STORY

About Us - A Legacy of Service

Meet the Board of Directors and Production Team

Behind every extraordinary concert lies a dedicated team of visionaries and leaders who make it all possible. Successfully producing our

world-class concerts requires an immense amount of support, professional skill, and collective determination. What makes this effort

truly remarkable is that not a single member of our Board of Directors or many on our extensive Production Team receives any financial

compensation. These individuals are true volunteers in every sense, choosing to gift their professional expertise and thousands of hours

of their lives to the Society. We are proud to introduce these talented individuals whose unwavering, selfless commitment

ensures that we continue to bring the music you love to our community with more heart than ever before.

We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give." — Winston Churchill

Our work is guided by three core principles that shape every rehearsal and performance

Why We Were Founded

The Draper Philharmonic and Choral Society was born out of a deep conviction that music has the power to uplift, inspire, and unite. Founded in January 2017, it was created to serve the Draper community and beyond with these

three guiding beliefs.

  • Light and Hope — The world needs more light and hope, and music is a powerful vehicle for delivering both.

  • Testimony Through Music — Music can bear testimony of the Savior Jesus Christ and His love for all people.

  • Inspiring Family Entertainment — Create opportunities where families can experience a night of meaningful connection through the shared joy of appreciating world-class music and storytelling

OUR MISSION

Mission Statement

  • Provide a platform for skilled musicians to perform and grow together.

  • Deliver inspiring performances that uplift and strengthen our community.

  • Promote the appreciation and understanding of symphonic and choral music.
  • Create a welcoming, family-friendly environment for performers and audiences alike.
