Baltimore Choral Arts Society, rising star conductor Anthony Blake Clark, and GRAMMY®-nominated producer, Geoffrey Silver, release a ground-breaking album with a Baltimore focus for a concert project that was honored with a 2023 Capital Emmy® for Diversity/Equity/Inclusion.
Acis is one of America’s leading independent classical labels that boasts a roster of GRAMMY®-winning and nominated artists. Founded by twice GRAMMY®-nominated producer, conductor Geoffrey Silver (co-founder of New York Polyphony, former Chorus Master of twice GRAMMY®-winning The Washington Chorus), the label has excellence in the fields of early music, choral, and organ as its focus, and champions emerging and established artists in North America and Europe–particularly women and artists of color.
Baltimore Choral Arts Society is one of Maryland's premier cultural institutions. Our Symphonic Chorus, Chorus, and Chamber Singers can be seen performing throughout the Mid-Atlantic and Europe. Most frequented venues include those in Baltimore, Washington D.C., and New York City. In addition to performing, The Baltimore Choral Arts Society provides several thoughtful and impactful music education programs that serve youth in and around Baltimore. These programs include CoroLAB, a partnership with Baltimore City College’s and Overlea High School’s choral music programs; Vocal Fellows, an expanded professional development program for early-career singers; Student Composer Project, a competition for high-school and college composers; and our annual Christmas for Kids concert. Through these four primary educational programs, Choral Arts serves the very young to early-career adult musicians.
