Musical Excellence with Meaning

• Musical Excellence with Meaning •

For passionate singers, music lovers, and community-minded patrons across New Jersey, Harmonium Choral Society is a nationally recognized choral ensemble that offers artistically ambitious, emotionally resonant, and socially relevant performances. Unlike traditional choirs that focus solely on musical presentation, Harmonium creates immersive experiences that dissolve the boundary between performer and audience—where every voice belongs, and every performance reflects the shared stories of our time and community.

Harmonium Choral Society, formed in 1979, is recognized for its musical excellence and innovative programming. Directed by Dr. Anne Matlack, the 100+ volunteer choir and 25-voice Chamber Singers are chosen through a selective audition process. We perform a broad choral repertoire with music from many cultures and time periods and have a commitment to commissioning new works. Our choir is multi-generational and includes high school and college age singers, teachers, IT professionals, artists, lawyers, and nurses, medical professionals to name a few. Many singers lead their own choirs in schools or at places of worship. Harmonium is a proud member of Chorus America, and NJ Choral Consortium.
