Lacuna Arts Chorale is an a cappella chorus of 32–40 balanced voices is made up of singers from our Ensemble and Chamber Choir. Repertoire for the 2014–2015 season includes Stanford’s monumental Magnificat in B-flat, Op. 164. and polychoral motets by Praetorius and G. Gabrieli. Placement into one of our performing groups is by audition only.

As our most selective group, Ensemble encourages individual responsibility with as few as 2–3 voices per part. Repertoire for the 2014–2015 season includes the Mass in G minor by Vaughan Williams, Palestrina’s Missa Hodie Christus natus est, Randall Thompson’s The Peaceable Kingdom, and D. Scarlatti’s exquisite 10-voice Stabat mater. Ensemble members may also choose to perform in the Chamber Chorus.

The 24-voice Chamber Chorus is for experienced and committed choral singers who enjoy performing challenging a cappella music in a fun, community setting. Repertoire for the 2014–2015 season includes the St. John Passion of Schütz, Parry’s Songs of Farewell, the Messe en style ancien by Langlais, and Renaissance motets by Eccard, Walter, and Hassler.

Rehearsals are either Monday OR Wednesday evenings in the Pacific Heights neighborhood of San Francisco.
