Kudos and thanks to Dr. Eric Nelson and Atlanta Master Chorale for this inspiring performance of 'Sanctus' from 'Come Away to the Skies: A High, Lonesome Mass', published by August Press. Based upon Reginald Heber's classic text 'Brightest and best of the sons of the morning', it begins with an extended a capella passage, later joined by the bluegrass band for a rousing conclusion.

Atlanta Master Chorale performed "Come Away to the Skies: A High, Lonesome Mass" by Wes Ramsay and Tim Sharp on April 28 and 29, 2023 at the Schwartz Center ...

So honored to see this piece performed (again) in our Tennessee back yard! October 26, Franklin First United Methodist Church--in celebration of 225 years of service to that historic town.

For 'all ya'll' who live in the Atlanta region--this concert will be wonderful, as usual. Atlanta Master Chorale never disappoints!

Make sure you have your tickets for our season finale concert!

"A Ca****la Soundscapes" will be an evening of all unaccompanied repertoire highlighting the skill and artistry of our singers. From medieval monks singing chants to the complex harmonies of Eric Whitacre, composers again and again find new ways to create beauty with human voices.

Singing a ca****la is choral music in its purest form. Every aspect of the music—melody, harmony, rhythm, texture—comes to life through the interplay of our voices alone.

A gem from the 'mis-spent youth' of one of our composers. Enjoy!

From the legendary '10 Trombone Machine' album, Wes Ramsay's upbeat swinging tribute to a childhood friend.
