We strive to foster an open, inclusive, and safe environment for all our members and event participants. Guided by international best practices we are committed to promoting ethical standards in both our music and our broader community.

We understand that actions and words, even when they may seem innocent, can provoke discomfort, hurt, and discourage those around us. Our goal is not to shift blame or claim faultlessness but to inspire both ourselves and those we engage with to uphold these values.

In our interactions, we commit to:

​

Respect for All:

We reject patronization, objectification, harassment, and gender inequality. Comments like "hey sweetie, looking so good" can undermine the dignity of others. We recognize these behaviors as forms of discomfort, dismissal, and power imbalance, and we choose to uplift rather than diminish others.

Accountability in Our Actions:

Statements such as "they were asking for it" are unacceptable. We denounce scapegoating, indifference, and excuse-making. We are committed to standing against desensitization, denial, and enabling harmful behaviors.

Encouragement of Growth, Not Limitation:

Phrases like "stay in your lane" stifle collaboration and perpetuate isolation and gatekeeping. We actively resist stagnation and silencing, choosing instead to nurture an environment of openness, inclusion, and mutual support.

Transparency and Honesty:

We reject the notion that "whatever, no one will know" can justify dishonest or negligent actions. Deceit, unaccountability, corruption, and shame have no place in our ensemble. We commit to transparency and taking responsibility for our actions.​
