Welcome to Exultate

WELCOME: We believe that creating music is much more than sounding the right note at the right time. Exultate goes beyond the notes on the page to bring you, the listener, the personal response that makes sound into rich, meaningful music – the language of emotion. Each concert program is designed to provide a variety of sounds, styles and textures performed in spaces specifically chosen for their acoustic qualities. Whether an a cappella Renaissance motet or a complex 21st century choral and instrumental work, our mission is the same:To perform and foster the enjoyment of classical choral and instrumental music, moving the souls of this and future generations.

We look forward to adding you to our growing number of followers by inviting you to learn more about us, attend a concert, browse our catalog of recordings and support our mission through a financial gift.  Join our email list to receive periodic news and updates about our performances, events and new recordings or follow us on Facebook and Twitter.
