Saint Louis Women's Chorale

In the Saint Louis Women’s Chorale, singers of diverse backgrounds come together in community to share their love of singing and the restorative power of music. Since 1995, the auditioned, 35-voice community chorus has kept a tradition of musical excellence and commitment to innovation and creativity, commissioning distinctive arrangements and works that often feature women composers and poets. While keeping classical music at its core, the Chorale performs many other types of music—jazz, folk, broadway, blues, gospel—and collaborates with professional dancers, painters, poets, and instrumentalists. As the Ensemble-in-Residence at Maryville University, the Chorale introduces younger women to mentoring, leadership, and performing opportunities.  And with a commitment to diversity and inclusion, the St. Louis Women’s Chorale affirms the worth and dignity of all people and strives to harness the power of music and exceptional performances to enrich and transform lives.
