  • SPARKMAN - Headshot

    The New Haven Chorale is pleased to announce Josh Sparkman as Composer-in-Residence for the 2018-19 concert season. The Chorale sought to forge a stronger and broader relationship with Mr. Sparkman after it premiered two stunning compositions last season, a new arrangement of “Here We Come A-Caroling” at the Holiday Collage Concert, and “I Shall Not Live in Vain” at The Water is Wide concert in February. Josh Sparkman is a composer and music educator working in West Hartford who holds a Bachelor of Science degree in music education from Bob Jones University in Greenville, South Carolina, and a master’s degree in composition from The Hartt School of the University of Hartford.

Our devotion to musical excellence, nurturing local musicians, and serving the community through choral music has kept the Chorale unique and dynamic for 68 years in which its members have collectively donated over two million hours of their lives!
