The Collegiate Chorale, among New York's foremost vocal ensembles,
has added to the richness of the City's cultural fabric for
more than 65 years. Founded in 1941 by the legendary conductor
Robert Shaw, the Chorale has achieved national and
international prominence under the leadership of Music Director Robert
Bass. The Chorale has established a preeminent reputation for its
interpretations of the traditional choral repertoire, vocal works
by American composers, and rarely heard operas-in-concert, as well
as commissions and premieres of new works by today's most exciting
creative artists.
