Cleveland Chamber Choir

The Cleveland Chamber Choir presents a specially curated concert featuring music for four voices. The selections include William Byrd’s Mass for Four Voices, English madrigals, and three pieces by Cleveland-area composer Dr. Judith Eckelmeyer. The region’s premier professional choir, the Cleveland Chamber Choir provides audiences with exceptional performances of a unique and diverse repertoire, blending music by living composers with nine centuries of choral repertoire and emphasizing the works of composers historically excluded from the concert hall. Since its founding in 2015, the choir has won acclaim for inclusive programming, for partnering with community charities, and for free concerts that ensure everyone can afford to hear world-class professional choral singing. Under the direction of Artistic Director Gregory Ristow, the Cleveland Chamber Choir brings together performing artists, audience members, and donors with the philosophy that choral music is a vehicle for good in the world that should be accessible and welcoming to all. All the ensemble’s members are professional singers who currently reside in Northeast Ohio. The mission of the choir is to nurture and amplify the strength and resonance of Northeast Ohio’s choral artistry.
