The Master Chorale of Tampa Bay

Under Music and Artistic Director Richard Zielinski, The Master Chorale of Tampa Bay will perform two works on the Masterworks series: Gabriel Faure's Requiem and Carl Orff's Carmina Burana. A highly select, 170-voice, all-volunteer chorus of singers from the entire Tampa Bay area, The Master Chorale has performed and premiered many symphonic choral works under the direction of Jahja Ling, Robert Shaw, John Nelson, Julius Rudel, Founding Music Director Emeritus Robert Summer and Jo-Michael Schiebe. The chorale has also performed abroad at London's Westminster Cathedral and King's College Chapel in Cambridge, among other locales. Designated in 1989 as the principal chorus of TFO, some of its most recent performances with the orchestra include Beethoven's Symphony No. 9, Dvorak's Requiem and Schubert's Mass No. 6.
