Community Chorus

Based in Woodside, NY

An award-winning chamber choir drawing membership from across the Northeastern region, Ensemble Companio lives out its mission "to build bridges between people through authentic, inspiring performances of the finest choral music" through its innovative programming, frequent collaborations, and uniquely accessible model.

Ensemble Companio takes its name from a Latin form of "companion", the etymology of which is "one with whom one shares bread." The name reflects the musicians' belief that sharing in choral music, like the sharing of food, is an essential, nourishing, and healing experience. With rehearsals and performances distributed throughout Boston, New York City, Philadelphia, and other locations along the eastern seaboard, Ensemble Companio attracts a diverse community of highly dedicated, exemplary musicians from a variety of professions who are unified in their passion for the power of choral singing.

Regularly performing local, regional, and world premieres of contemporary works, Ensemble Companio is known for its adventurous programming and vibrant, moving concert experiences. A typical season weaves together unaccompanied repertoire spanning from the medieval period to modern day, highlighting music by underrepresented composers, rarely performed masterworks, and choral gems of all genres.
