ABOUT LANCASTER CHORALE

• Ohio's only thirty-two voice professional choir, Lancaster Chorale is well known for its musical integrity and remarkable blend. Versatile, the Chorale maintains a repertoire of the finest in choral literature within a wide range of styles, idioms and periods.

 

• Formed in 1985 as a community choir, becoming professional in 1989, the "pure sound" of Lancaster Chorale has attracted national attention. With a reputation for superb ensemble singing, Lancaster Chorale has received funding through grants from the Don Wendel Family Fund of the Fairfield County Foundation, Ohio Arts Council, Arts Midwest, Presser Foundation, and SBC Ameritech.

 

• Our February, 2007 performance of Gregorio Allegri's MISERERE MEI, DEUS was the opening selection on WOSU-FM's "Music in Mid-Ohio", with Christopher Purdy, celebrating the finest in musical performances that season.

 

• The Chorale's recordings of Howell's Requiem, Barber's Adagio, and Martin's Mass For Two Choirs have been featured on "The First Art", a nationally syndicated series broadcast over National Public Radio, showcasing excellence in American choral music...tune into the NPR affiliate in your area!

 

• Chorale enters their seventh season as Choral Ensemble in Residence at historic St. Joseph Cathedral in Columbus, Ohio. 
  Other recent honors include collaboration with Pro Music Chamber Orchestra in the fully-staged version of Leonard Bernstein's MASS, under the baton of Timothy Russell and stage direction of Michael Scarola from NYC Opera.
