The Johns Creek Chorale recently shared details about its eleventh performance season, Voices of Light: From Mystery to Masterpiece, an exploration of how “choral music illuminates the human experience across centuries, cultures and musical traditions.”
Under the direction of Dr. Nathan Frank, the Chorale is entering the upcoming season with renewed artistic vision, as well as a deep commitment to community connection.
Performance dates and themes
The 2026-2027 season opens on October 18 with “Radiant Mercy: Light, Love and the Human Spirit.” This inspiring program, featuring Leonard Bernstein’s “Chichester Psalms” alongside beautiful works by Eric Whitacre, Maurice Duruflé and Ola Gjeilo, will showcase some of the finest choral music ever written.
December offers two beloved Chorale traditions that highlight the brilliance, joy and reverence of the season:

- “Star of Wonder” (on December 12) is a grand holiday celebration featuring children’s and youth choirs, along with the Chorale performing John Rutter’s “Gloria” with the Georgia Brass Band, for an unforgettable collaboration that promises to be a highlight of the season.
The new year will unveil an even wider variety of concert experiences:
