ABOUT SVWAA

The South Valley Winter Arts association was founded with a simple mission: to provide exemplary performance opportunities to winter ensembles from local high schools and middle schools in the San Joaquin Valley. As a circuit, we pride ourselves on our integrity, having all components of our operations run by our very own educators, with a focus on serving our students and colleagues in an inclusive way.

We warmly welcome you and your ensembles to join us for another season of unforgettable experiences!
