Chorus Austin's third annual gala and biggest fundraiser of the year, with a champagne cocktail hour, silent auction, gourmet dinner, live auctions and choral performances.
Chorus Austin is holding its third annual gala, Mosaics of Impact, at the Hilton Austin on Saturday, January 9. It's the organization's biggest fundraiser of the year, and all the proceeds go back to the chorus. The evening kicks off at 6 PM with a champagne cocktail hour and a silent auction, followed by a gourmet dinner, live auctions, and choral performances throughout the night.
For those who know the group, Chorus Austin is a non-profit, community-based choral organization that started as the Austin Civic Chorus within the City Parks and Recreation Department. It later incorporated as an independent entity and absorbed the Handel-Haydn Society in 1999. Today it maintains a 150-voice Symphonic Chorus and a smaller Chamber Ensemble. This gala falls during their 2026-2027 season, the group's 62nd, which they've themed Songs for the Journey.
Artistic Director and Conductor Ryan Heller has led the ensemble since 2009. He's conducted at Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, and Chicago's Symphony Hall, and he also serves as Music Director of the Christchurch City Chorus in New Zealand. The chorus has a reputation for championing new music, having commissioned works like Robert Kyr's The Unutterable and Donald Grantham's The Contemplations of Hafiz. They won the national Chorus America/ASCAP Alice Parker Award in 2013 and launched a Young Composers Competition in 2014.
