About US

[A working definition: = Wildchoir (noun) - a harmonic act of nature; the Earth sounding itself alive; a collective of voices, undomesticated and free..]

Wildchoir’s purpose is to invoke the power of music to activate humanity towards radical love and action - from the stage to the streets. Grounded in a commitment to social justice, ecological regeneration, and healing for all beings, Wildchoir’s music illuminates the joy, pain, and beauty of what it means to be human.

Wildchoir, formerly “Thrive Choir”, was born to sing the music for the revolution. Based in Oakland, California, they are a diverse group of vocalists, artists, activists, educators, healers, and community organizers who join together in big harmony. They celebrate the confluence of their many cultures & identities, including african-american, latinx, asian-american, native american, middle-eastern, immigrant, jewish & queer. Their music illuminates the joy, pain, and beauty of what it means to be human in this time of systemic transformation.

They have recorded and performed with nationally-acclaimed artists for social change including grammy-award winning Esperanza Spalding, Rising Appalachia, Climbing Poetree & MaMuse. They also frequently share the stage with progressive heroes of our time, such as Bernie Sanders, Ericka Huggins, and Joanna Macy. Their music has inspired thousands at marches, conferences and festivals across California, most recently at Bioneers, Lightning in a Bottle, Institute for Noetic Sciences, the Women's March, & the Rise for Climate March. 

Wildchoir originated as “Thrive Choir”, and spent its first years as the musical voice of Thrive East Bay and the global Thrive Network. Thrive is a community and movement devoted to love in action by building equitable systems where we can flourish as individuals, as communities, and as a planet. Wildchoir is forever grateful to Thrive Network for their support and collaboration.
