These two special additions to our 2025/26 lineup both showcase the excellence of the Cleveland arts scene.

Our full choral season kicks off in a month with Vespers: Rachmaninoff’s All-Night Vigil on Oct. 24 & 25.

But today, we’re excited to announce two special additions to our 2025/26 lineup. Both showcase the excellence of the Cleveland arts scene, and the strong relationships Cleveland Chamber Choir has formed with other organizations over the last decade.

Handel’s Messiah with Cleveland Ballet 🩰
Join us on March 20-22, 2026 when Cleveland Ballet presents a breathtakingly beautiful adaptation of Handel’s Messiah, with Cleveland Chamber Choir and BlueWater Chamber Orchestra under the baton of Artistic Director Gregory Ristow. The production follows the biblical narrative, from the prophecy of Christ’s birth to his crucifixion and triumphant resurrection. The show is a spiritually uplifting and visually stunning experience that captures the essence of faith, hope, and renewal.

All performances will take place at Playhouse Square’s KeyBank State Theatre.

Purchase tickets here or by calling Playhouse Square Box Office at (216) 241-6000.

*Designates Open Dress Rehearsal and School Matinee. This performance is part of Cleveland Ballet’s “Pay What You Can” program.

Walk On: The Power of Carousel with The Musical Theater Project 🎠
On June 14, 20206, the Cleveland Chamber Choir joins The Musical Theater Project for their performance of “Walk On: The Power of Carousel.” Rogers & Hammerstein’s 1945 classic is an inspiring tale of redemption, as ne’er-do-well Billy Bigelow learns from Julie Jordan the meaning of love. This docu-concert will include scenes from the musical and all the songs including “If I Loved You,” and “You’ll Never Walk Alone.”

This is our second time joining The Musical Theater Project, following our successful collaboration in June 2024 with “Waitin’ For My Dearie: Brigadoon and The Miracle of Love.”

Ticket information coming soon.

Sunday, June 14, 2026, 3:00pm, Gartner Auditorium, Cleveland Museum of Art
