Over the past several decades, our performances have included:
  • 4+ concerts per season (including a masterworks, holiday concert, and more!)
  • Brucemorchestra, Pops, and Masterworks concerts with Orchestra Iowa
  • Cedar Rapids Municipal Band
  • Cedar Rapids Titans and Rough Riders National Anthem
  • New England Symphonic Ensemble at Carnegie Hall
  • Singing back-up for Barry Manilow in the US Cellular Center

MISSION: The Cedar Rapids Concert Chorale aims to promote choral music appreciation and develop musicianship by performing a broad repertoire of music while providing youth and community outreach opportunities.

VISION: To achieve artistic excellence in performing outstanding choral music.
