Salt Lake Choral Artists

Comment on Facebook

The Salt Lake Choral Artists (SLCA) is one of America's premiere community choirs, continuing a tradition of superb choral singing that began as the Jay Welch Chorale more than twenty years ago. When Dr. Brady Allred was appointed as Artistic Director and Conductor in 2004, the group was reorganized to include a large concert choir of approximately 150 voices, and a women's choir and chamber choir, each approximately 50 voices strong. The choir focuses on classical, contemporary, and culturally diverse music and enjoys collaborating with other performing groups in the community. They have appeared with the University of Utah Singers and A Cappella Choir and the Salt Lake Symphony, and performed with Ballet West in their production of Carmina Burana. SLCA is also dedicated to community outreach; they have worked with several local schools during their regular concert season and participated in interfaith concerts in the Salt Lake valley. Each summer, they sponsor a Summer Choral Institute, which gives all people the opportunity to sing great choral literature without having to audition for the choir. Dr. Allred's wealth of choral conducting experience, remarkable range of musical talent, and exceptional leadership has brought SLCA to a higher level of artistic excellence and generated new enthusiasm among choir members, serious interest from the media, and the attention of donors who recognize the importance of promoting quality performing arts in the area. The group performs several times a year in beautiful Libby Gardner Concert Hall, located on the University of Utah campus. In 2009, SLCA's chamber choir recorded the ensemble's first CD, He Loves Me, a compilation of the work of Utah composer David Naylor. In 2011 the Salt Lake Vocal Artists recorded Never A Brighter Star, a collection of Christmas music by Dan Forrest, featuring arrangements of favorite carols such as "The First Noel," "He Is Born," and "The Friendly Beasts" as well as stirring new compositions.

      The Elijah oratorio is not done as frequently as Messiah. In the past I’ve had to wait years to hear it performed live. When I last heard it the the soloist was the major draw. But under the demanding and gifted work of Dr. Brady Allred the Salt Lake Choral Artists have been able to devote the time and preparation this piece deserves. As a member of his choir I can attest it has been rigorous work, but at the same time pleasure. What glorious music this is, and telling such an incredible story. For the time being my favorite moment in the oratorio is when the men sing "Go return upon thy way" –music so beautifully crafted by Mendelssohn and coupled with the vocal skill Allred magically pulls from the men’s section it is like you are transported to the prophet's side and hearing the commission with Elijah himself.
