Phillips Exeter Academy Concert Choir is a 45-voice mixed chorus, performing a wide range of choral music from the 16-century through to contemporary choral works. Directed by Kristopher Johnson, the choir is the school’s leading choral ensemble with a choral body representative of the various states and countries found at the school. In the past few years, the choir has performed premieres of new creations by student and alumni composers, sung choral masterpieces with professional orchestras and soloists and undertaken service-oriented tours in the southwest United States. The choir has received coaching from artists such as New York Polyphony, Skylark Ensemble, Blue Heron and Roomful of Teeth.

Phillips Exeter Academy Chamber Orchestra is one of the Academy’s premier instrumental ensembles, presenting a range of classical, romantic and modern works. Under the baton of Rohan Smith, the orchestra has collaborated and performed with the Grammy-nominated string ensemble A Far Cry and received coaching from conductor Michael Barrett.

The orchestra and choir are often heard in collaboration, presenting the great choral works including Mozart’s Requiem and C-minor Mass, Faure’s Requiem and Handel’s Chandos Anthems. Phillips Exeter Academy Concert Choir has toured extensively, most recently visiting Vietnam and Hong Kong, Québec and California.

March 2019 will mark the Phillips Exeter Academy’s first tour to the United Kingdom, presented by Classical Movements.
