Incorporated in 1976, the Ridgefield Chorale, with Ernestine Holmes as its founding director, was formed to bring together non-professional singers to present works from the classical choral repertoire. In 1998, Daniela Sikora took the reins of the Chorale and decided to take the organization in another direction, one that might attract singers and audiences who were looking for a different kind of choral group, one that specializes in contemporary music, both popular and “classical.”
Today the group of 65 singers, known for its vocal excellence, presents the music of today’s finest contemporary choral composers and arrangers from a cappella to Broadway, jazz, and world music. Whether by an orchestra, a band or by its gifted collaborative pianist, Carol Spaulding, the Chorale is accompanied by some of the area’s finest musicians.
A vital part of the performing arts scene in Connecticut – Ridgefield is Connecticut’s First Cultural District – the Chorale offers two major concerts a year plus a December Holiday concert which raises funds for local non-profit organizations. The group participates in many other community events in the region, including the annual Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. celebration, the 9/11 Ceremony of Remembrance, and inter-denominational Thanksgiving services. The Chorale has also performed during the NCAA Women’s Basketball Championships, the finals of the US Women’s Gymnastic Tournament and the 50th Anniversary of The Sound of Music in Salzburg, Austria.
The Ridgefield Chorale is an organization that recognizes and respects the differences and similarities of every individual; it is committed to making members feel welcomed, safe, accepted, and supported. The culture of the Chorale embodies this spirit of inclusivity and civic mindedness. Members volunteer their time to participate in activities that impact the lives of children, seniors, students, and other citizens in a positive way.
