Quintessence: A Community of Singers

For almost 40 years, Quintessence: A Community of Singers has been a vibrant part of the Albuquerque musical community. The core of Quintessence’s roster is a select 32-voice chorus that includes both professional singers and highly committed volunteers who perform a four-concert season. Through our Summer Choral Festival and community singing events (Beer Choir, Park Sings), Quintessence also provides a space for singers of all ages and ability levels to create music together. We are proud to have partnered with the VOCES8 Foundation and St. John’s Music Ministries to create “Sing Together Albuquerque,” an initiative that puts our teaching artists into local schools to foster singing in classrooms. Matthew Greer was appointed as the Artistic Director of Quintessence in 2009.
