Past performances have included Amy Beach’s Grand Mass in E-flat Major, Handel’s Israel in Egypt, Haydn’s The Creation, Vaughan Williams’s Sea Symphony, Rachmaninoff’s All-Night Vigil, Bloch’s Sacred Service, Poulenc’s Mass in G, and Requiem settings by Mozart, Brahms, Verdi, Fauré, Duruflé, and Rutter. The Chorale has collaborated with the Metropolitan Chorale and the Zamir Chorale plus orchestras including the Boston Pops, Boston Philharmonic, Boston Civic Symphony Orchestra, Concord Orchestra, the New Philharmonia, and the Newton Symphony Orchestra. Commonwealth Chorale annually presents a ‘Commonwealth Composer’ concert that highlights the music of a composer with ties to the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

The Commonwealth Chorale has also commissioned and premiered many works, including Carson Cooman’s As We are Changed, Patricia Van Ness’s Nocturnes, Alan Fletcher’s That Hour of Gentleness, and James Woodman’s Narcissus.
