The Hartford Chorale, founded in 1972, is a chorus of more than 140 men and women who are selected
annually through competitive auditions. Singers come from Connecticut, Massachusetts, New York
and Rhode Island, and represent diverse occupations in business and the professions. Richard
Coffey is the Music Director. He served as Interim Music Director for one year following the
resignation of  Frank Nemhauser in May of 2005. The announcement of his appointment in June
2006 as the permanent director was greeted with great enthusiasm by the Chorale membership.
Coffey is also the Music Director of CONCORA with whom the Chorale collaborates on a regular
basis.
The Hartford Chorale, a volunteer-based, not-for-profit organization, serves as the primary
symphonic chorus for the greater Hartford community. The Chorale provides experienced, talented
singers with the opportunity to study and perform at an exceptional level of musicianship.
Through its concerts and collaborations with the Hartford Symphony Orchestra and other organizations,
the Chorale seeks to reach and inspire the widest possible audiences with exceptional performances
of a broad range of choral literature, including renowned choral masterpieces.
