since its founding in 2009. Performance entries are accepted from both community and professional groups. Entrants range from wellknown artists to lesser known ones and come from communities both large and small. Entries are judged on overall artistic quality, musicality, rhythmic incisiveness, ensemble, tone quality, accuracy, intonation and knowledge of style. The chorale was awarded the Community Chorus prize based on select pieces from its professional recordings “Sing Me to Heaven” and “Roots and Wings.” The chorale received additional consideration for the American Prize in 2015. The chorale is funded in part by the Cultural Enrichment Fund, the capital region’s united arts fund, and the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts.
The Susquehanna Chorale recently won second place in the American Prize competition.
