Begun in 1985 as the Gwinnett Festival Singers, the 43-singer group transitioned into its current incarnation as the Atlanta Sacred Chorale in 2000. As ministry partners with Peachtree Presbyterian Church, this professional-caliber choir is dedicated to performing sacred music spanning the Renaissance to spirituals, hymns, and contemporary literature. The ASC performs 10-12 concerts each year throughout Atlanta and the surrounding region. Auditions, which are open to the public, are held every August.
