Northeast Pennsylvania's premier chamber choir

Join us for the culminating concert of our Summer Sing mini-choral festival! Saturday's concert will include the Arcadia Chorale performing pieces by Pitoni, Brahms and Cole Porter, along with the premiere of a new "L'homme armé" arrangement by the Chorale's own, Rebecca Elfman. We'll also have featured instrumentalists presenting works by Bach and by the Beverley Trio's Harold Levin. 

The second half of the program showcases our Summer Sing Chorus and Orchestra, led by our Guest Music Director, Joshua Harper, in a performance of  Karl Jenkins' The Armed Man: A Mass for Peace (Choral Suite). Come hear this stunning work, with its sweeping vocal melodies, driving percussion and brass parts, and sublime cello solo.  The concert is open to all! General admission tickets ($10) will be available at the door or can be purchased here. Student admission is  always free for Arcadia Chorale events. 

This year marks our 5th Summer Sing mini-choral festival. Presented in partnership with the Dr. Steven Thomas Memorial Fund, the event brings together singers from our NEPA region and beyond to present choral masterworks during the early summer. Donations to the Memorial Fund help support Summer Sing, and in particular, allow us to provide free registrations and meals to our student singers. Please consider supporting future Summer Sing events by making a donation here. 

Arcadia Chorale would like to share that, after a great deal of reflection, Matthew Rupcich has decided to step down as the ensemble's Music Director. 

While we are sad to see him go, we're grateful for Matthew's leadership over the past seven seasons, and especially for his contributions during our Covid-era challenges. His talent and dedication have helped the ensemble evolve to where we are today and we deeply appreciate his significant contributions to our musical life. 

We know our audiences will share our gratitude for all he has done to make a positive impact, not just for Arcadia Chorale, but for the entire NEPA region. Please join us in thanking Matthew and wishing him continued success in his next chapter and beyond.  

We’re in the early stages of planning a celebration for Matthew that we'll hold in the near future. Check back later for more details about this and other Arcadia Chorale events, including Summer Sing 2026, which will be led by our Guest Music Director, Dr. Joshua Harper. We hope to see you soon!
