Repertoire
Our long-time conductor, JoAnne Wasserman, creates and shapes our sound, refining it in weekly rehearsals, and decides the repertoire.
Since its inception, the Choral Society has performed everything from works by early ecclesiastic composers such as Palestrina, to brilliant choral pieces by Morten Lauridsen, John Rutter and Ola Gjeilo among many contemporary composers writing music for the choral medium.
Here is a list of works that represents just a fraction of the works that the Choral Society has performed both in California and on its international tours. Click on a circle to see the titles.
