Background

Coriolis, a 14-voice group of singers, was formed in 1987 by acquaintances in search of an opportunity to sing challenging a cappella compositions.  Drawing on its members’ wide-ranging backgrounds, its repertoire extends from 16^th century madrigals and sacred music to premieres of 20^th and 21^st century classical compositions.  The singers have a special affinity for the works of late 19^th, 20^th and 21^st century composers, such as Francis Poulenc, Ralph Vaughan-Williams, Benjamin Britten, Aaron Copland, and Ned Rorem.  In the spring of 1998, the group gave the first performances of a new work written for them, Reveries On A Summer Day by Chicago composer John Austin, and has since premièred numerous new works by Chicago composer Bob Applebaum.

The group’s members have all sung extensively in various vocal groups: a cappella groups Four Shadow and Blind Man’s Bluff, college glee clubs and chorales, church choirs, and community and professional choruses, including the Chicago Symphony Chorus, the San Francisco Symphony Chorus, Bella Voce, the North Shore Choral Society, the Classic Chorale, the Choral Ensemble of Chicago, the Tufts Amalgamates, Christmas Spirit, and Hearing Voices.

In addition to annual holiday and spring concert performances, Coriolis is also available to perform at private gatherings.
