Description
The Choralis Foundation, founded by Artistic Director Gretchen Kuhrmann in 2000, is dedicated to excellence in choral music. Choralis provides opportunities for area singers to participate in professional-level concerts and musical experiences. The ensemble is already one of the fastest growing choral groups in the greater Washington, DC area and has quickly built a loyal following with its high quality sound and style.
Choralis - an auditioned, 80-person mixed voice chorus with a paid professional core. Lauded by The Washington Post as “fully professional in the power of its singing (and) the variety of its emotional flavors”, the ensemble has performed such choral masterworks as the Brahms Requiem, Orff's Carmina Burana, Stravinsky's Symphony of Psalms, Walton's Belshazzar's Feast, Haydn's Creation and Mendelssohn's Elijah. In 2004, Choralis performed the Washington-area premiere of John Rutter's Mass of the Children.
Echos (ee-kos) - a select vocal ensemble drawn from the ranks of Choralis for educational outreach and special appearances. The singers are well-versed in all choral repertoire and styles, performing everything from Renaissance motets to Bernstein in a single season. Their exceptional musicality and artistry have afforded them recognition in the Washington metropolitan area as one of the leading amateur vocal chamber ensembles.
