Choral Performances with Orchestra
Composed of juniors, seniors and graduate students, the Westminster Symphonic Choir has recorded and performed with major orchestras under virtually every internationally known conductor of the last 75 years. Recognized as one of the world’s leading choral ensembles, the choir has sung over 300 performances with the New York Philharmonic alone.
Thirty-two members of the Westminster Symphonic Choir are selected every year for the Westminster Choir, which has been the chorus-in-residence for the Spoleto Festival USA since 1977.
