Beginning its 35th season, under the baton of John Emory Bush, the San Francisco Concert Chorale is among the most consistently innovative and rewarding vocal ensembles in the San Francisco Bay Area. The Concert Chorale is an independent group dedicated to musical performances of the highest quality. Singers are selected twice each year by audition and rehearse to a professional standard of performance. 

Dedicated to introducing choral treasures to the San Francisco Bay Area, the Concert Chorale performs both favorites and less familiar works from throughout the choral repertoire. The Concert Chorale has presented the Bay Area premieres of Conrad Susa's oratorio The Wise Women, Antal Dorati's Pater Noster, and Robert Levin's completion of Mozart’s Requiem, the latter in collaboration with the Wyoming-based Cheyenne Chamber Singers. The Chorale is also noted for its inspiring and unique performances of Handel’s Messiah.

Additional collaborations have included work with the Margaret Jenkins Dance Company, the Kronos Quartet, the Bay Area Women's Philharmonic, the Golden Gate Boys' Choir, and the London Piano Duo.

The Concert Chorale was one of two American choral groups to participate in Mexico City’s Festival de Centro Historico in 1999 and performed in Cuernavaca at the invitation of the Institute Cultural de Morelos. The Concert Chorale has performed throughout southern France, including a memorable performance at the historic Cathédrale Ste-Cécile in Albi. They have sung jointly with the choir of St. Matthew's Cathedral of Dallas, presenting concerts in Dallas and San Francisco. Most recently, the Concert Chorale, joined by  the Valley Concert Chorale, Los Positas College Chamber Choir, and Cantabella Children’s Choir, performed Carmina Burana.
