Irving Chorale’s mission is to promote the highest standards of choral performance and share our love of singing and music in Irving, the Dallas/Ft Worth Metroplex, the State of Texas and around the world.
We collaborate with other arts groups to highlight all areas of performance and establish a greater presence in Irving and surrounding communities.
We hope to impart the love of choral music to younger singers and influence them to maintain participation for future generations through outreach and education.
