Repertoire

From Vittoria's music of the counter reformation to Charles Reynolds' contemporary Messe Acadienne ... from "Allenluia" to "Zadok the Priest" ... from Palestrina to Porgy and Bess ... versatility, measured by any yardstick, is one of the keys to Chorale Acadienne's continued success.

In the past thirty-eight years, Chorale Acadienne has presented works from over fifty composers spanning five centuries. The group has presented works sung a cappella as well as accompanied by brass, organ, piano, and full symphony orchestra.
