The Taylor Festival Choir is a semi-professional chamber choir based in Charleston, SC. Founded and conducted by Robert Taylor, the choir is inspired by the life and career of Bob Taylor, the conductor's late father and a noted choral musician and pedagogue. Since its inception in 2001, the Taylor Festival Choir has been heard in prestigious venues and festivals throughout the US, and has garnered a reputation of excellence among critics and choral specialists alike. Their second compact disc recording, This is Thy Hour, O Soul, was recently released on the Centaur label, and has been hailed by critic Lindsay Koob as "Fabulous...Tremendous." Last season, the Taylor Festival Choir was one of only two American adult chamber choirs featured at the prestigious 2009 American Choral Directors Association National Convention and 50th anniversary celebration.

Part of the Taylor Music Group, the Taylor Festival Choir presents a full concert season in the Charleston area, and serves as the flagship ensemble for the annual Taylor Music Festival. It also serves as the professional-choir-in-residence at the College of Charleston. Personnel in the ensemble represent conductors, educators, performers and professionals from several states, including South Carolina, Texas, Pennsylvania, Oklahoma, Louisiana, New Jersey, New York, Georgia, North Carolina, California and Washington.

The Taylor Festival Choir performs the finest choral literature from all eras, with particular emphasis on new music. Recent concerts have featured commissions and performances of works by Stephen Paulus, Eric Whitacre, Julian Wachner, Michael McGlynn, Brian Galante, David Maves, Trevor Weston, and Karen Marrolli. Dedicated to bringing the beauty and spiritual enrichment of choral music to as wide an audience as possible, the Taylor Festival Choir tours frequently, and performs outreach concerts in schools and churches throughout South Carolina and surrounding states.
