The New Haven Chorale

  • The Chorale is an auditioned, professionally conducted community of vocal musicians united by their passion for choral-music excellence and their devotion to community cultural service. Since 1950, the Chorale has brought beautiful choral music to the Greater New Haven community through varied concert performances and innovative community projects.

Audience Responses:

“The program was put together with such artistry—as a listener I was brought on a journey ... Beautifully performed!”
“Great community cultural asset.”
“I thought and felt emotionally moved to heights and depths that music does not usually move me. I was overwhelmed with the beauty of it.”
