Connecticut's premier professional choir, delighting audiences since 1974. Connecticut Choral Artists - CONCORA presents choral music at the highest level, from the Baroque to the present day. CONCORA programs challenge, excite, educate, and inspire audiences across New England. Under the direction of Chris Shepard, Artistic Director, the ensemble’s versatility is displayed in its wide range of repertoire and in the crafting of ensembles from among the choir’s roster of singers.
CONCORA has been praised as “one of the premier musical forces in the state,” “one of our region’s priceless musical assets,” and “a model of choral artistry.” Choral music has the power to cross cultural boundaries and to move hearts; CONCORA’s mission to reach a broad and diverse audience extends not only to the choral aficionado, but also to those who may be touched by the beauty of the choral art for the first time.
Description
CONCORA's BIG SING connects vocalists together in multiple locations across the state to sing choruses from the same well-loved work. For January 2026, the choruses will all be from Mendelssohn's Elijah. The BIG SING gives singers an opportunity to choose among several locations across Connecticut to sing the same glorious music, at the same time of year.
