Providence Singers is 90-voice choir composed of auditioned and paid singers. The Providence Singers perform regularly with the Rhode Island Philharmonic, including an annual performance of Handel's Messiah, and with other area ensembles. Led by artistic director Christine Noel, the Singers perform choral masterworks and notable works by new composers. The Providence Singers expand the choral tradition by commissioning and performing new works, such as "Westminster Bridge" by Ola Gjeilo, written for choir, piano, and string quartet. The choir has created four professional recordings of music by American composers, most recently Dan Forrest's Requiem for the Living.
