Westminster Choir: Baldwin Wallace Conservatory of Music Bach Festival 2020

Setting the standard for choral excellence since 1920, the Westminster Choir is composed of students at Westminster Choir College. It has been the chorus-in-residence for the prestigious Spoleto Festival USA since 1977, performing both in concert and as the opera chorus.

Recent seasons have included concert tours in Beijing, China, and Spain, as well as participation in the World Symposium on Choral Music in Barcelona and groundbreaking performances of Julia Wolfe’s Pulitzer Prize-winning Anthracite Fields at the historic Roebling WireWorks as part of Westminster’s Transforming Space project.

The Westminster Choir has been hailed by audiences and critics for its creative programming and ability to deeply engage listeners. D.C. Theatre Scene praised its staged performance of Joby Talbot’s Path of Miracles at the 2019 Spoleto Festival USA, writing: “Joe Miller, and his famed Westminster Choir, has reimagined the art of a choir ‘concert,’ and, in the course of it, created before our eyes – for forty-one singers and an audience that filled the Galliard Auditorium – something of (their) own miracle.”
