cclaimed for the beauty and expressiveness of its singing, the 200-member ATLANTA SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA CHORUS and CHAMBER CHORUS has been directed by Norman Mackenzie since 1999, following the death of the legendary Robert Shaw, who founded the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra Chorus and Chamber Chorus. Mr. Mackenzie had worked closely with Mr. Shaw for 14 years, and under his current direction, the Chorus has won two Grammy Awards for Vaughan Williams’s A Sea Symphony and the Berlioz Requiem, and he conducted the ASO Chamber Chorus in its own Telarc recording. Mr. Mackenzie recently prepared the Chorus for performance with the ASO at Carnegie Hall in April 2008, as well as its Berlin Philharmonic debut in 2003 (and return in 2008) under Principal Guest Conductor Donald Runnicles. In December 2009, the Chorus returns with Mr. Runnicles to Berlin for an unprecedented third engagement with the acclaimed German orchestra. Auditions for the 2009-2010 ASO Chorus will be held August 16-17, 2009. Please visit www.asochorus.org for more information.
