Title
CONCORA Connecticut Choral Artists
Description
Founded in 1974 by its Conductor and Artistic Director, Richard Coffey, CONCORA presents its thirtieth anniversary season in 2004-2005. CONCORA’s mission, “to perpetuate and perform with excellence choral music of the highest quality for the broadest possible audience,” represents a commitment to the Connecticut community, a commitment to artistic excellence, masterful performances, and educational enrichment – enhancing the lives of generations.
CONCORA holds a unique place in the arts community as Connecticut ’s premier professional choir. Over its thirty-year history, the chorus has grown to its present roster of sixty singers and has built an extraordinary reputation for artistic excellence throughout New England . CONCORA is the recipient of the 2003 Governor’s Arts Award, presented by Governor John G. Rowland in recognition of remarkable artistic achievement and contributions to the arts in Connecticut .
The ensemble’s versatility is demonstrated in its wide range of repertoire from the great choral masterpieces to newly commissioned compositions, including arrangements of folk music, spirituals and popular music. The size of the performing group varies with the repertoire. The CONCORA Consort of Voices is a small a cappella ensemble specializing in music of the last one hundred years. Our series is performed in the Greater Hartford region, and all of our programs are administered from our New Britain office. We vary our performing sites to best suit the music being performed and to accommodate the broadest possible audience – an important aspect of our mission. Frequent collaborations with other performing organizations, such as symphony orchestras, and invitations to perform in out-of-town venues and at cultural events augment our schedule year- round.
