Striving to enrich lives through the study of music
and the sharing of musical experiences
The Center Chorale
Music Bringing Us Together
The Center Chorale is an ensemble of choral singers, endorsed by the California Center for the Arts, Escondido, performing choral literature of past masterworks and Twentieth and Twenty-first Century compositions in a variety of styles. The ensemble partners with the Center Children's Chorus in promoting vocal music in our community. The Center Chorale is dedicated to excellence in performance and education and also to
preserving the tradition of singing as an expression of art.
The Center Children's Chorus
Sing and Be Inspired
The Center Children’s and Youth Chorus, at the Center for the Arts, Escondido, provides opportunities to learn about music in a friendly and fun environment. Musical literacy and participation in the art of choral singing with their peers, as well as in combination with the Center Chorale are goals of this children's chorus. We perform several times during our season in many different venues in our community including the beautiful California Center for the Arts concert hall and performance theatre.
The 2026-27 Choral Season for Escondido Choral Arts!
Escondido Choral Arts provides performance opportunities for musical artists of all levels and plans for the 2026-27 season highlights this musical resource for North County San Diego as The Center Chorale and The Center Children’s Chorus begin their fourteenth season of performing at the beautiful California Center for the Arts, Escondido, Grace Lutheran Church, and other venues in the community. Providing opportunities for singers of all ages, including young adults pursuing their musical career, continues to be the focus of this endeavor.
We hope you will join us this season to perform, or hear, the music of William Byrd in his Mass for Four Voices, a part of which was sung for the coronation of King Charles III and Queen Camilla, the holiday favorite Handel’s Messiah, a cultural journey in music and a choral exploration of the seas with The Center Children’s Chorus, and the season finale of epic proportions when the Escondido Choral Arts Foundation presents the masterwork Guiseppe Verdi’s Requiem. This unique work combines the tradition of sacred oratorio with the grandeur of romantic opera. The Center Chorale will be accompanied by Orchestra Tutti and join forces with the Pacific Coast Chorale and guest soloists. As part of our ongoing community engagement, guest conductor Diego Guerra will offer select members of the San Diego Civic Youth Orchestra the opportunity to sit side by side with the professional players of Orchestra Tutti. An event this grand can only take place in the California Center for the Arts, Escondido’s glorious Concert Hall.
Music fosters positive experiences of belonging, relationship building, and community connection which strengthens our communities and quality of life for both musicians and audience. We hope you will join us in keeping the arts alive for all!
