About Us
Angel City Chorale (ACC) is one of Southern California's premier choral groups, celebrating 31 years of showcasing the spirit and diversity of Los Angeles through music and community outreach. Founded by Artistic Director Sue Fink in 1993 at McCabe’s Guitar Shop with just 18 singers, the choir has grown to over 180 members. Their diverse repertoire spans classical, gospel, jazz, pop, and world music, all while fulfilling their mission to "Build Community One Song at a Time."
ACC gained national attention in 2018 with their memorable performances on NBC’s America’s Got Talent, where they reached the semi-finals. Simon Cowell called ACC “one of the best choirs we’ve ever had,” and their powerful rendition of Toto’s "Africa" earned the Golden Buzzer and captivated nearly 20 million viewers.
ACC also focuses on community outreach, including the Angel City Youth Chorale, which provides free music education to children through partnerships with local elementary schools and Boys & Girls Clubs across Los Angeles, as well as its Tour of Hope which brings live music to underserved communities and service organizations.
Angel City Chorale is a California Non-Profit Public Benefit Corporation and a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. For more information, visit www.angelcitychorale.org or contact pr@angelcitychorale.org for press inquiries.

I am currently the Marketing Director for Angel City Chorale, a role I've held for 2 years, managing all of the marketing needs for the organization. Singing has always been a passion of mine, and I've been singing with the Chorale for 9 years.
With a background in marketing, sales planning, and operations, I bring years of experience working with consumer-facing platforms in digital media and retail distribution. Having worked with high-profile Fortune 100 companies, I specialize in navigating the complex landscape of filmed entertainment and technology, focusing on EST, TVOD, iVOD, AVOD, and VOD businesses, both in the U.S. and globally.
I am passionate about strategy and execution, developing go-to-market plans for films and television, managing title lifecycles, and optimizing product planning. My skills include financial analysis, P&L management, budgeting, forecasting, and goal-setting, which have helped me consistently achieve sales targets and drive revenue growth. I have successfully negotiated licensing agreements, overseen contract renewals, and led teams to success while fostering a collaborative environment.
Beyond my professional achievements, I am an active resident of Culver City, where I engage with the community and contribute to local non-profit organizations. My involvement in philanthropic work is as important to me as my career, and I take pride in supporting both corporate social responsibility efforts and community-based initiatives.
