Making music since 1982, Choral Arts Philadelphia actively participates in the region’s musical community by celebrating the talents of our local professional and amateur musicians. As Philadelphia’s premier chamber chorus, Choral Arts Philadelphia presents concert experiences that delight and engage the community as well as contribute to their appreciation of the repertoire. Choral Arts Philadelphia is committed to musical excellence, historically informed performance practices, and furthering the great tradition of choral music.
Since 2013, Choral Arts Philadelphia and The Bach Festival of Philadelphia have presented Bach@7 Cantata Series, a midweek early evening Bach Cantata series.
Under the tenure of its first artistic director, Sean Deibler, the chorus regularly partnered with the Philadelphia Orchestra in concert and on recordings. Since then, Choral Arts Philadelphia has built a significant reputation and artistic presence in Philadelphia and has maintained a particularly strong commitment to exploring areas of the choral repertoire outside of the central canon. Deibler's successor, Donald Nally, added greatly to the chorus’s local and national successes that culminated in receiving the Margaret Hillis Award for Choral Excellence from Chorus America and Philadelphia Magazine’s Best of Philly award during its 20th anniversary season. Under the artistic direction of Matthew Glandorf since 2007, Choral Arts Philadelphia has continued to build its reputation as a premiere early music choir. In its distinguished 32-year history, the choir has performed nearly 300 works by more than 100 composers.
Choral Arts is a semi-professional chorus, which means that most of our members are volunteer, avocational singers, who nonetheless maintain a high level of vocal artistry. The family of singers is supported by a professional core of eight vocalists. Over the past decade, Choral Arts Philadelphia has evolved from a symphonic chorus to a chamber-size chorus in response to the needs of our repertoire, and in order to cultivate and offer the highest level of performance quality. |
