Charlotte Master Chorale

Vocals, Chorus

The Charlotte Master Chorale is an auditioned chorus that performs an annual season of masterworks and contemporary works primarily in the Charlotte region. It is the resident chorus of the Charlotte Symphony, and operate as an independent, nonprofit performing arts organization.

Its story begins in 1951, when a group of Charlotte singers, under the direction of Earl F. Berg, founded the Oratorio Singers of Charlotte. The founding members envisioned a group that would perform great choral masterpieces, especially large-scale choral-orchestral works. Today, the Charlotte Master Chorale Main Chorus, with approximately 150 singers on the roster, continues to perform in large-scale choral-orchestral collaborations of masterpieces and contemporary works as the resident chorus of the Charlotte Symphony as well as in independently-produced concerts widely recognized for excellence and community-building. The Chamber Singers, Charlotte’s premier chamber choir, consist of 30 singers of professional caliber drawn from the Main Chorus, renowned for vocal prowess and artistic expression.

The Charlotte Master Chorale has been a featured ensemble at Carnegie Hall, Piccolo Spoleto, and the state conference of the North Carolina American Choral Directors Association (ACDA). In March 2026, the Chamber Singers were featured at the ACDA Southern Region Conference in Memphis, TN. 

The Charlotte Master Chorale also offers free intensive educational programs for high school and collegiate singers, the Young Artist in Residence and NextGen programs.
