Via Nova Chorale launches its 17th season in November with “Voices,” a five-concert series exploring the power of music to express who we are, where we come from and what connects us as one human family. Led by artistic director Steven Phillips, the 2026–27 season ranges from a musical celebration of America’s 250th anniversary and the return of the chorale’s popular Celtic Christmas to a collaboration with The Ringling that pairs visual art with live music. The season continues with music drawn from cultures whose voices have been silenced by oppression and concludes with an eclectic celebration of the natural world. Since Phillips became artistic director in 2023, Via Nova Chorale has expanded its repertoire beyond sacred music while continuing to broaden its artistic vision.
