The Philadelphia Singers Details
The Experience
A chamber chorus, 24 singers strong, sings motets, masses and oratorios by Claudio Monteverdi, J.S. Bach, Frederic Handel and Hector Berlioz but also introduces the best of contemporary works by Michael Tippett, John Adams and Jennifer Higdon.
The Singers expand to 100 to perform the glories of the symphonic choral literature onstage with the Philadelphia Orchestra and other great orchestras like the New York Philharmonic. You won’t be disappointed in repertoire known or unfamiliar. Rigor, passion and terrific diction define the highly professional Singers, whose nationally acclaimed concerts and recordings challenge and thrill.
History
Thirty years young, the Singers were founded in 1972 by Michael Korn, whose commitment to choral standards — and the works of J.S. Bach — won national recognition. Before his untimely death in 1991, Korn realized his dream: the creation of a 100-member Singers’ Chorale that would become the Philadelphia Orchestra’s resident chorus. Korn also handpicked as successor, his assistant David Hayes, a conducting talent at the Curtis Institute of Music, who has realized the founder’s ambitions with innovative programs and world premieres.
