Westminster Choir

Joe Miller, conductor
Eric Plutz, accompanist

Setting the standard for choral excellence for 80 years, the Westminster Choir is in its second season with conductor Joe Miller.  Maestro Miller has conducted choirs throughout the United States and Europe, earning critical praise and awards at such important festivals as the 2005 European Grand Prix for Choral Singing in Varna, Bulgaria.

The Choir's 2007-2008 season includes a concert tour of Texas, performances in conjunction with the American Choral Directors’ Central Division Conference in Michigan as well as in New York and Princeton and at the 2008 Spoleto Festival U.S.A.  Recent seasons have also included tours of the United Kingdom, Korea and Taiwan, as well as a series of performances at the Colmar (France) International Music Festival.

Its recording with Conductor Laureate Joseph Flummerfelt, Heaven to Earth, is available internationally on the AVIE label.  Praised by Classical Music Web for its “expert choral artistry” and by Classics Today.com as “a thought-provoking and multi-faceted exploration,” the recording originated with the ensemble’s 2002 PRI radio broadcast reflecting on the 9/11 terrorist attacks.  It includes Agnus Dei, a choral setting of Samuel Barber’s Adagio for Strings and Arnold Schoenberg’s demanding Friede auf Erden.

Praised by critics for its “full-bodied, incisive singing” (The New York Times), the Westminster Choir also forms the core of the Westminster Symphonic Choir, which has performed and recorded with the leading conductors and orchestras of our time.
