Westminster Choir

GRAMMY® nominated conductor James Jordan serves as the seventh conductor of this world- renowned ensemble. Setting the standard for choral excellence since 1920, the Westminster Choir is composed of undergraduate and graduate students at Westminster Choir College of Rider University. Beginning with the original Walt Disney Fantasia with Leopold Stokowski, the choir has thrilled audiences around the world and in American Concert Halls with its singularly unique sound and artistry. The ensemble’s 2023-2024 season includes a series of concerts in New Jersey, New York and Washington including a world premiere performance at Carnegie Hall. Recent seasons have included concert tours to Beijing, China and recording with the Pittsburgh Symphony with Maestro Manfred Hoenig and performances of a Messiah in Spanish with the Orchestra of St Luke’s under the baton of Ruben Valenzuela. As the core of the Westminster Symphonic Choir, the choir will perform Carmina Burana with the Orchestra of St Luke’s in Carnegie Hall in 2024. In December 2023, the choir will be seen in Christmas Broadcasts of the 30th Anniversary of An Evening of Readings and Carols recorded in the Princeton University Chapel. Praised by The New York Times for its “full-bodied, incisive singing,” the Westminster Choir is hailed as one of the nation’s finest choral ensembles. Singing in this world-renowned choir is at the core of the only choral college in the world.
