Chicago Chorale Welcomes New Managing Director

Greetings!

I am thrilled to announce my new role as Managing Director of the Chicago Chorale! Honored to follow in the footsteps of the Chorale's esteemed Managing Directors, I am eager to contribute to the legacy of this remarkable family. Drawing from my background in non-profit program management and performance, I aim to merge these experiences to bolster the Chorale's standing in both the Chicago and Choral Arts communities. With the guidance of Bruce Tammen, the Chorale's Founder and Artistic Director, and the support of our governing body, I intend to explore avenues for growth, expand our presence into new realms, and curate choral experiences that resonate with both our loyal supporters and new, diverse enthusiasts.

As the arts landscape undergoes significant transformation globally, I have observed firsthand the impact of societal dynamics on artistic expression. I am committed to navigating these shifts while upholding the Chorale's commitment to excellence. By fostering dialogue between tradition and innovation, I aspire to contribute meaningfully to the cultural conversation. As I shared with Chorale members upon my introduction, I approach leadership from an artist's perspective, driven by a passion for creating impactful work.

I am grateful for the warm welcome thus far and eagerly anticipate the exciting journey ahead with the Chicago Chorale.

William Powell, III
