Who We Are

‘Aiga Means Family

     We are a Missoula-based choral ensemble that promotes, premieres, produces, and performs underrepresented diverse music of the Pacific and beyond. ‘Aiga Singers officially became a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization in April 2024. Through our music, we strive to empower, inspire, and build community. ‘Aiga is a Samoan word that means “family.” Building off of our organization’s central meaning, one of the core missions of ‘Aiga Singers is to build an inclusive support community through a shared love of music. Through this connection and collaboration, we also work to showcase works by non-Western composers. For the past year, we have been developing and expanding our choral repertoire and toured in New York City in March and April of 2025. On March 30th, we performed at the historic St. Ann and the Holy Trinity Church in Brooklyn, New York City. We also took part in performing a choral work in collaboration with renowned Indigenous American choral artists. On April 1st at Carnegie Hall, we performed Iholba’, written in the Chickasaw language, composed by Jerod Impichchaachaaha’ Tate and conducted by Dr. Tracey Gregg-Boothby.
