about

The finest professional vocalists and instrumentalists

The Company of Singers strives to be one of the leading professional choral/orchestral organizations in the southeastern United States.  With a commitment to sacred choral works from the Renaissance to the 21st century, the group’s main focus will be the performance of Classic period choral masterworks of Mozart, Haydn, and Beethoven, breathing fresh spirit and life into these exceptional historic compositions, and offering great musicians and great music lovers the opportunity to experience these works afresh, if not for the first time.
