The Festival Choir, under the direction of Choir Director Deborah Handley, celebrates unity in community, bringing together audience members with festival artists to collaboratively sing in concert. This Festival Choir is inclusive, empowering, and welcomes all who want to sing.

For 2024, the Festival Choir takes its inspiration from the world around us, internationally and locally, and will sing songs that answer war with peace, hate with love, and destruction with renewal. In doing so, the Festival Choir performance will amplify themes of joy, compassion, hope, and the enduring power of love.

2024 Song Selections include:
