An Evening with Crescent Choir

Crescent Choir is a choral project led by Sophia Corinne that brings original music by local artists to life. Rooted in the Asheville area, the project gathers skilled musicians and experienced singers to make ambitious new work through close collaboration and deep listening.

The project is made up of two interconnected ensembles: Crescent Choir, a larger mixed-voice choir, and Moon Choir, a small femme-centered ensemble that grows out of the full group. Together, they form a shared artistic container devoted to collective music-making and carefully shaped live performance.

Crescent Choir operates in focused, seasonal cycles, centering a small selection of original music by local songwriters, bands, and composers. Each season culminates in a live performance, offering the music back to the community it came from.

Show Description:

This concert features a set of original songs by Asheville-area songwriters, arranged especially for Crescent Choir and developed over eight weeks of shared rehearsal. Each piece is shaped in close collaboration with its original artist, expanding intimate songs into rich, collective vocal landscapes.

Featured songwriters this season include Lyle De Vitry, Soft Talk, Meaghan Collins, Henry Toland, Sarah Louise, P’AL, and Sophia Corinne.

Join us for an evening of shared listening, many voices, and songs offered back to the community they came from.
