Commissioned Works

The Arlington Chorale is proud to champion living composers by commissioning new choral works that reflect the stories, values, and voices of our time. These commissioned pieces bring fresh perspectives to the concert stage, enrich the choral repertoire, and create meaningful connections between artists and audiences—today and for generations to come.
