About Festival Choir of Madison
The Festival Choir of Madison is a passionate, auditioned ensemble of about 50 singers from all walks of life, dedicated to presenting musically outstanding choral performances that inspire and connect. We offer three captivating concerts each year - in December, March and May - and proudly serve as the choral ensemble for the Wisconsin Chamber Orchestra's annual holiday presentation of Handel's Messiah. Rooted in a mission to share uplifting musical experiences, we use choral music to express love, hope, anguish, and reconciliation while celebrating cultural differences and uniting our community. Our programming spans timeless masterpieces and contemporary works, with performances that feature everything from a cappella to full instrumental accompaniment. We welcome all voices and listeners and invite you to experience the transformative power of music with us.
