Rhode Island Civic Chorale and Orchestra

Rhode Island Civic Chorale and Orchestra

Symphonic Chorus

Based in Providence, RI

Since its inception in 1957, the Rhode Island Civic Chorale & Orchestra has been a community organization with singers from Rhode Island and neighboring Massachusetts, united in their love of choral music. The Chorale was founded by Dr. Louis Pichierri, Director of Music for Providence Public Schools. He conducted the Chorale from its inception to his passing in 1972. The Chorale has since sung under the direction of Ronald Morris, Robert Bass, and Edward Markward. Dr. Edward Markward was Music Director and Conductor of the Chorale for 32 years and was awarded the honorary title of Conductor Laureate upon his retirement in June 2019. Dr. Joshua W. Rohde is now the Chorale's Music Director and Conductor.

The Chorale has enjoyed continuous growth and community support over its history. It presents at least three major concerts each year, with a repertoire ranging from established choral masterpieces to works of contemporary composers. We have also been privileged to perform original works by contemporary composers.

Founded - 1957.
