Description

The Spoleto Festival USA Chorus, led by Dr. Amanda Quist, is one of the leading ensembles of early career professional choristers in the United States. Performing as part of an internationally renowned, interdisciplinary performing arts festival, Fellows of the Chorus are engaged for myriad events across Spoleto’s 17 days in Charleston, SC.

Vocal Fellows perform major works in 1-3 choral performances across the Festival; perform as the chorus for Spoleto’s mainstage opera(s); and take part in special performance projects. Chorus Fellows may additionally be considered for step-out roles for the operas depending on programming.

To succeed at and enjoy the broad scope and needs of the Festival, Vocal Fellows draw on versatile skill sets including choral performance, opera and other stage experience, and knowledge of diverse genres. In 2025, choral fellows performed in the opera Thais by Jules Massenet, the Kodaly Missa Brevis in a production with the Jose Limón Dance Company, Bach’s Mass in B Minor, and in the long-standing Chorus Concert series.
