The Syracuse Chorale is a non-profit community organization dedicated to the art of fine choral singing. The oldest community chorus in the greater Syracuse area, the group was founded in 1953, with 25 singers. Over the years, membership in the Chorale has grown to as many as 120 members, but generally averages 80 to 100 members each year.
The Chorale provides professional leadership and an opportunity for new and experienced singers to perform great choral works in a variety of musical styles. These include classical masterpieces such as the Requiems of Brahms, Mozart, and Berlioz, Bach's St. John Passion, Mendelssohn's Elijah, as well as the contemporary works like jazz, musicals, and ballads.
Syracuse Chorale performs three concerts each year in December, March and May. We employ professional musicians as director and accompanist, instrumentalists for many major concerts and, on some occasions, professional soloists. A nine member board of directors, elected by the membership, administers the affairs of our self-supporting organization.
Seeking to expand our audience and membership, we have presented concerts in recent years in Fulton, Auburn, Syracuse, and the surrounding suburbs. The Chorale's ensemble group, the Chamber Singers, sings regularly at events throughout the greater Syracuse area.
