About Our Choir
Grace Chorale of Brooklyn is a community chorus based in Brooklyn. Our members are a group of singers who bring diverse musical experiences and backgrounds to the group and all share a love of choral music. We are an 85 member chorus with smaller ensembles drawn from our ranks. Under the baton of music director Jason Asbury, the Chorale is committed to serving the wider Brooklyn community by presenting various traditions of choral music. Our concerts include well-known and little-known masterpieces of choral literature from Early Music to Contemporary composers.
Our History
Grace Chorale of Brooklyn was established in 2000.
The Grace Choral Society of Brooklyn took its name from Grace Church in Brooklyn Heights, where it was founded in 1976 as a supplement to the music program of the church. It retained the name of Grace but for many years had been an independent, secular, non-profit organization under the direction of an elected board of directors.
Spiritus et Anima was formed over fifteen years ago by Linda Kaufman and James Busby, the former Chair of the Saint Ann’s School Music Department. Its membership was drawn from faculty, parents, and other members of the Saint Ann’s community. The group performed many choral classics in concerts in Brooklyn Heights, including the Verdi Requiem and Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony with the Brooklyn Symphony Orchestra.
