The North Carolina Master Chorale is a performing arts organization based in Raleigh, North Carolina, with a history spanning more than seven decades. It specializes in choral-orchestral masterworks and offers a diverse repertoire that ranges from Renaissance to contemporary works, employing ensembles that vary from small chamber groups to large choruses. The organization collaborates regularly with symphony orchestras, opera companies, ballet companies, and touring productions, enabling a broad platform for choral artistry and musical collaboration. The ensemble is led by Music Director Alfred E. Sturgis, who has directed the Master Chorale since 1993, and the group operates as a major regional performing arts entity that engages over 250 artist-musicians each season and reaches an annual audience of more than 10,000 choral arts enthusiasts. In 2015, the Master Chorale was named Resident Chorus of the North Carolina Symphony, reflecting its established role within the state's classical music ecosystem.
