In 1965, Ars Musica Chorale began as a small community chorus. Now in its fifth decade, Ars Musica continues to offer singers the opportunity to perform a wide variety of great music. Our concerts, which take place in one of Northern New Jersey’s most beautiful venues, frequently feature instrumentalists and/or soloists from the rosters of the Metropolitan area’s renowned opera companies and professional symphony orchestras.

Recognized as one of the most accomplished choruses in the area, the Chorale has regularly been invited to perform as guest artist in such venues as Carnegie Hall (with Opera Orchestra of New York), Columbia University’s landmark St. Paul’s Chapel, and St. John the Baptist Cathedral in Paterson, NJ. Since 1989, the Chorale has traveled abroad in alternate summers, performing throughout Europe and Great Britain, and recently in St. Petersburg, Russia. A highlight of Ars Musica’s tour of Austria in 2006, Mozart’s commemorative year, was the group’s participation in the Salzburg Choral Festival.

Our performances adhere to the highest standards, as we continue to dedicate ourselves to upholding the heritage of greatness and beauty in choral music. Our rehearsals are distinguished by a genuine sense of camaraderie among the members who come together to sing some of the world’s most beautiful choral compositions.

The mission of Ars Musica Chorale is to craft excellent programs of a wide range of choral music; to provide choral singers with challenging, instructive, and rewarding opportunities to make music together; and to enrich and educate the community by offering the excitement of live performance to a broad audience.

Ars Musica Chorale is a 501(c)3 NJ non-profit corporation. Our venue is wheelchair accessible and large-print programs are available.
