Our Story
With the vision of building global harmony through performance and education, Quire Cleveland is dedicated to exploring, preserving, and breathing new life into nine centuries of extraordinary choral music.
Quire Cleveland is a professional early music vocal ensemble established in 2008 to explore the vast and timeless repertoire of choral music over the last nine centuries. Under the artistic direction of Jay White, Quire Cleveland makes life more harmonious by introducing audiences to choral music not heard in the modern era.
Quire Cleveland plays a unique and vital role in the cultural landscape of Northeastern Ohio. We are the only professional a ca****la vocal ensemble in the area that specializes in earlier repertoires.
The ensemble is made up of outstanding local musicians, trained at leading conservatories and colleges. Our singers are highly skilled performers of choral music, with a particular knowledge of medieval, Renaissance, and Baroque music; a number of our singers have completed specialized advanced degrees in this field. While our singers come from a range of backgrounds and have diverse musical passions and professional lives, our greatest strength as an ensemble is in presenting unaccompanied vocal music from the Renaissance.
