The Louisville Chamber Choir presents a vibrant selection of choral music—from timeless masterpieces to new favorites for audiences. Immerse yourself in the power and beauty of voices raised in harmony.
Artistic Director Kent Hatteberg formed the Louisville Chamber Choir in the Fall of 2013. We consist of musicians from the Louisville Metropolitan Area, and our mission is to provide the highest level of ensemble performance.
Since our inception, the Louisville Chamber Choir has dedicated itself to fulfilling its mission to present exceptional musical experiences that nurture community appreciation of choral singing through quality performances, recordings, and collaborations.
Over the last ten years, we’ve performed a wide range of the most significant choral works from all periods, both a cappella and with the Louisville Orchestra.
From Gabrieli and Byrd to Esenvalds and Whitacre, we balance what we’re passionate about performing with what audiences enjoy.
Our goal with each performance is to serve the music and honor history’s most gifted composers.
Dr. Kent Hatteberg has led the Louisville Chamber Choir as its Artistic Director since its inception. Many of the choir’s singers honed their skills under his direction at the University of Louisville—fostering a unique connection within the ensemble.
One of today’s most influential voices in choral conducting, Dr. Hatteberg’s musical talents and achievements reach far beyond our city. As a Fulbright Scholar in Berlin, he pieced together excerpts of a Mendelssohn choral-orchestral piece that had never been performed.
His guest conducting credits include prestigious European choirs, solidifying his reputation as a remarkable musician who brings a wealth of knowledge and international perspective to the city.
The Louisville Chamber Choir includes the most talented choral singers in the region.
Each singer brings their unique musicality and merges it with that of the other singers to create a synergy between choir, conductor and audience.
Many of our members are former students of Dr. Hatteberg that have gone on to teach music to subsequent generations of students.
The Louisville Chamber Choir is guided by a dedicated board of directors who share our passion for choral music. These individuals work tirelessly behind the scenes to ensure the choir’s artistic and financial success.
