Inspiring Joy And Enriching Our Community Through Choral Music

75 Years of Inspiring Joy

Join the Stockton Chorale for the opening performance of our 2026-2027 season, launching our Diamond Season.

Our fall concert explores all the different reasons we might sing – in joy, in pain, in unity, in defiance, in remembrance, in yearning, or in celebration.

All the Ends of the Earth

The Stockton Chorale's Classicworks concert, All the Ends of the Earth, brings large scale orchestral choral music to Stockton for a centerpiece event of our 75th Anniversary "Diamond Season." The Missa Pastoril, a Latin mass composed by José Maurício Nunes Garcia in the early 1800s, serves as the centerpiece of the program, paired with a newly commissioned choral work by acclaimed composer Kile Smith, All the Ends of the Earth, based on Psalms 61 and 67 and written specifically to honor the Chorale's 75 years, plus an additional new piece for Master Chorale.

Sing Diamonds and Hearts

Close out the Stockton Chorale's 75th Anniversary "Diamond Season" with a salute to the music of Gilbert & Sullivan. Sing Diamonds and Hearts brings together beloved choruses and arias from classic light operas including H.M.S. Pinafore, The Pirates of Penzance, Iolanthe, The Mikado, and The Gondoliers, witty, tuneful, and full of theatrical charm for audiences of all ages.
