The Cleveland Orchestra Chorus, directed by Robert Porco, is one of the
few professionally-trained, all-volunteer choruses sponsored by a major
American orchestra. The Chorus celebrated its 50th anniversary during the
2002-03 season. In addition to performing with The Cleveland Orchestra in
subscription concerts each season and in the Orchestra's annual Christmas
concerts at Severance Hall, the Chorus has appeared with the Orchestra on
tours (both domestic and abroad), on television, in special concerts (such
as the 1994 opening of Jacobs Field and the 1996 Cleveland Bicentennial
concert in the Flats), and on numerous recordings. The Chorus has also
toured on its own, either a cappella or with other ensembles, to the Casals
Festival in San Juan , Puerto Rico; the Chautauqua Institution in New York ;
and various venues in England , Wales , Belgium , the Netherlands ,
Luxemburg and Germany .
Cleveland Orchestra Chorus members hail from nearly fifty area
communities, and some travel for weekly rehearsals from as far away as
Ashtabula , Wooster and Orrville. The 170 members donate over 50,000 hours
annually in rehearsal and performance time. Additionally, through a variety
of development efforts, they have raised over $1.3 million for past and
future touring.
