The Chamber Choir of Grand Rapids serves as a community resource, enhancing cultural growth through distinctive choral arts.

In its more than 30 year history as an arts organization, the Chamber Choir of Grand Rapids has served as a community resource, enhancing cultural growth through distinctive choral arts.

The choir has sung over twenty-three world premieres of new choral literature and has sung in a dozen foreign languages. Its rich legacy also includes tours, past concerts, and compact disc releases. The choir has shared disc space with such notable organizations as the London Philharmonic and the Dallas Brass.

Their tours have taken them from the baroque halls of Saint Petersburg, Russia, to the refined classical as the famous Haydnsaal in the Esterhazy Palace in Eisenstadt, Austria. Their voices have been raised with those of the famed Mormon Tabernacle Choir in the legendary Tabernacle in Temple Square, Salt Lake City, Utah, where they took part in the recording of the Tabernacle Choir's international Sunday morning television and radio international broadcast. They were also invited by the choir to perform a solo concert in the Assembly Hall on Temple Square.

Locally, they have worked to raise social awareness with organizations such as the Holland Youth Advisory Panel, Heartside Ministries, Senior Neighbors, Children's Assessment Center, Degage, Silent Observer, and The Butterworth Foundation.
