Additional support comes from private foundations, including the Paul M. Angell Family Foundation, as well as gifts from the general public, and the 19/19/19 Campaign.
We are the House Ensemble of The Rockville Bach Academy, Inc, a non-profit organization chartered in Maryland.
Founded in 2011 by conductor Richard Allen Roe, the group first took the name The Advent Project, owing to the Advent repertoire performed on their first concert. The group has since explored a wide range of repertoire, from Renaissance to Romantic era a cappella music, with a strong emphasis on the cantatas of Johann Sebastian Bach.
Along with their concert performances, ChorSymphonica has developed a unique concert experience, called Conversation Concerts. We continue to produce these educational and musical events along with traditional (non-lecture) concerts, and how you will join us for our next performance.
ChorSymphonica is a project-based ensemble. We don't meet on a regular basis for rehearsals, but come together for brief, intense work periods ("projects"), which culminate in performances. Musicians self-select for projects, depending on their own availability. In this way we can draw upon the range of qualified musicians throughout the region for our concerts.
Auditions are held periodically for membership in our database of singers, and for solo opportunities. Soloists are drawn from the ranks of the chorus.
